LOOKING FOR A GRAVE 1 You know the date of death- and cemetery 2. You do not know the date of death but you do know the cemetery 3. You do not know date of death or where burial took place 1. You know the date of death- In Liverpool - And which cemetery, visit Liverpool Records Office, and search the records for the cemetery. Search the three sections if you are unsure of Religion. Not in Liverpool, just get in touch with Liverpool Records Office- (see below for details) give them the date of death and full name. If you know the Religion, that will narrow down the search, as there are 3 section types Church (C of E ) RC and Gen. They will get back to you with section and grave number. If you then let me know the section e.g. RC7 and grave number, I will locate the grave take photo's and can also plot the grave on a map, and /or give you full instructions on how to find the grave if/when you visit 2. You do not know the date of death but you do know the cemetery Firstly you must find at least the year and Quarter of death registration. St Catherine's Index is where to look. St Catherine's index can be searched for free in any Library which has a family History Section. or try the following links http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/ If you are able to narrow the search to a specific period, all the better. e.g. The person you are looking for is living with their wife in 1861census , but their wife is a widow in 1871 census- Search between 1861-1871up to June Quarter. Once you have located the quarter you can search the cemetery records or contact Liverpool Records Office, to search, as in 1. above If you then let me know the section e.g. RC7 and grave number, I will locate the grave take photo's and can also plot the grave on a map, and /or give you full instructions on how to find the grave if/when you visit 3. You do not know date of death or where burial took place Liverpool Cemetery Office (see Below) have a search option where you pay £10 for a search for 1 year for one name- so see if you can narrow down the date of death to a specific year- as in section 2 above - Their records are for ALL burials in Liverpool They will give you cemetery , section and grave number. If you have been searching for a particular burial for a long time wthis is a great option. LIVERPOOL RECORDS OFFICE http://www.liverpool.gov.uk/Leisure_and_culture/Local_history_and_heritage/index.asp All years of church records (opening/closing), census dates and years, and years of burial grounds opening/closing dates held in Liverpool Records office are all on my web site. http://liverpool-ancestors.co.ukResearch request can be made to Liverpool Records Office, they will carry out a small search for free , but then charge £16 per hour to carry out further research. (My charges for research are much lower) If you are going to Liverpool Records Office yourself, the following tips may help. Don't just turn up, as most days all of the machines are pre-booked. So book first for each two hour reservation . Telephone 0151 233 5811. Opening hours have changed in the library, so time is now more limited than it was before. You can also e mail a query and they will answer and may also carry out a small search for free. recoffice.central.library@liverpool.gov.uk CEMETERY OFFICE Once a section and grave reference have been found in a particular Cemetery, family members can enquire of Liverpool Cemetery Office how many burials are in a family grave, as not all burials may be noted on a memorial. You telephone 0151 233 3004 and give the following details Anfield Cemetery (Or other Cemetery) Section number and whether Church , Roman Catholic or General Grave number Name and date of death of one of those interred in the grave. Email address
cemeteriesandcrematoria@liverpool.gov.uk Or you can write to Allerton Cemetery Lodge 192 Woolton Road Liverpool L19 5NF Giving all details outlined above. They will ring /post back with burial order numbers, burial order numbers can be researched in Liverpool Records office and names ages addresses and sometimes occupations are found. Remember that memorials often hold information which you may not find through normal research channels.

TO REQUEST A PHOTO OF GRAVE The index on my website is of names on memorial inscriptions in Anfield Cemetery. If you would like a photograph of any memorial, please make a donation of your choice, towards the upkeep of the website and I will send all photo's taken of the memorial. Donations can be made by overseas donations via paypal to my email address. Please ask for methods of donation for UK in £ sterling- either by cheque p.o. or credit to a Halifax account. From a memorial inscription photograph you can get the date of death, with which, you can visit your local library and look in the binders which hold the burial record details. Search for the reference in all three sections, Church Gen and RC, (unless you know which religion they were, ) which has the date you are looking for , then get that ref. film out and search through until you find all the details recorded for that burial. When you have the section and grave number you can follow the rest of the info in 'Cemetery Office'. I was told by someone (Sept.2005) who rang for information that they now have a waiting list, but cannot be sure how accurate this information is. PUBLIC GRAVES If your grave number has 'Public Grave' written by it , this means that the family , at that time, could not afford to purchase a private grave, so the person buried would be buried in a 'public' plot which other people of the same religious denomination were also buried. Their only connection would be that they died around the same time, and their families could not afford a private burial. Usually there is no headstone, as if a standing headstone is erected- you must name all people buried also buried in the same grave- However a small flat stone with inscription may be placed on the grave with your ancestors details. There are memorial masons who have carried this work for a number of people I have recommended.
