does anyone take names from graves in witton crem i would like to find some of my ancestors graves their a big family surname is TYSALL
 
Perry Barr was the nearest when I lived there or they called it that
 
You may discover that the grave no longer "exists". Many were buried in public graves which have since been buried under several more feet of soil to allow for more burials on top. I discovered this when tracking my Gt Grandmother's grave. She died in 1919 and her grave is now around 10ft down. I'm half expecting the same for her husband who died in 1942. I recently discovered that he is buried at Witton too. It would be nice if this grave was still visible and marked. I'm having trouble with their birth dates.
