Many years ago now I was approached by a “Keeper” and told that it was not allowed to take pictures of graves unless you had a family connection. Whether this was correct I know not.

The council did try putting a rule out to state that you needed permission from the relatives to take phots of grave marker in Birmingham. I raised the issue with some of the elected members who quickly quashed it.

Sounds a bit peculiar to me. The cemetery is a public palce, paid for by the citizens. Mind you, now with all the cuts, I doubt if there is any money available to employ jobsworths

Hi, i have just discovered a family connection on Ancestry to the Wheeler family of Birmingham. I have found out that George Wheeler (abt 1828-30/11/1898) master baker was possibly buried in Witton Cemetery. Does anyone know if his memorial stone is still in the cemetery?
