Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

Hi Stacey,
As you can see I’m not on here often due to researching other branches!

No I never did have any joy, I do have the plot details but unsure if there’s a headstone for my great grandparents.

I saw the paper copy of the details earlier today and if ever you do get chance to look I’d really appreciate it and happy to assist you in any way I can as a thank you.

I live in the East Midlands so I should really just jump on the train and get over there myself really.

I’ll keep checking on here more regularly.

Best wishes

Andrew
 
Believe it not the following is from July 2017!,
Talk about putting things on the back burner
If there is a headstone, a photo of it would be great.
My now 91 year old relative is still up for a visit if there is one for his grandparents. ☺️

‘I've just located the details of my great grandparents and I was correct with the dates.
David Palmer died in 1955 and his wife Zeta Elizabeth Palmer nee Starkey died in 1943.
They are both buried in the same plot at Uplands Cemetery.
Plot 23, Section 6, Grave no. 12828’
 
Just to let you know Stacey hasn't been on the Forum since she posted her message in April.
So you may have a wait for a reply or, indeed, no reply. It may depend what notifications she has set.

Thanks Stacey, I will attach one photo and see if I can find anything better.
Section 6 is on the bottom right.
No great rush as it has been 7 years since my original post

Just in case you missed the section and plot details Stacey on an earlier post before I posted the photo showing the layout of Uplands Cemetery.
Thanks again in anticipation.

Hiya I’ve been up the cemetery not long ago. Without knowing actually where the plots start from it’s really hard to decipher where the grave is. I’ve looked at where the potential plot 23 could be but it wasn’t there. Not the right names. I looked all over this plot. However there are a lot of spaces here, so maybe there isn’t a headstone. There is also some that are over so you can’t read them. Maybe it’s 1 of those? I only managed to find a Phylis maud palmer with a David deeley. I will however try and track this down for you when I get chance, I shall go over to the other cemetery which is a new continuation of the uplands called thimblemill cemetery and I will ask one of the grave diggers there to help me out.

Can’t thank you enough for looking Stacey.
Much appreciated.
I suspected there wasn’t a headstone.
They were quite poor.
I’m just away at the minute so only just picked your message up.
Anything I can help you with please shout up.
I have ancestry and FMP.
Best wishes.
Andrew
P.S. in my home town I did the same, I asked a ‘superintendent’ who helped me find a plot, but again no headstone unfortunately.
 
If anyone is nearby Sutton Coldfield Cemetery would they be able to get a photo of my great grandparents graves?

They are Joseph and Ellen Ward and the plot number is 842

Thank you
