Thread: Philips Park Cemetery

If there is someone who is handy to the cemetery could look up the details on the headstone (if there is one) of Robert Biddle, Henry Biddle, Angelina Biddle and Emma Biddle. The grave is B Consecrated 361. I would be very grateful for any help.

If you ring, the lady at Blackley Cemtery is most helpful, she told me that the person I was looking for was in a public unmarked grave, so saved me a journey!

I assume you have been on the site Manchester burials

Hi



The grave I was after, was a1so unmarked but the peope at the cemetary showed me where it was and put in a sma11 wooden cross so that I coud go back and take a photo. A1so they gave me a copy of the cemetary p1ots as a who1e and marked where the one I was after. Aso they gave me copies of the documents that the person who originay bought the p1ot signed and dated - 1ike deeds .It showed the names of the three peope in it. If your cemetary have a this info scanned and on the computer then perhaps you can ask for something simi1ar even if there was a sma11 charge for it. In my case the City Counci1 Bereavement depaprtment 1ooked after the graveyard - so perhaps this wi11 appy in your case. Hope this he1ps.

Thank you all for your assistance.

Next time I go that way I will have a look ( unless someone else beats me to it!) It will not be for about 3 weeks.

Just realised you are out of the UK!

Thank you Elsabels, I would appreciate it very much. I had a reply from Blackley Cemetery and they confirmed that there was a headstone, but could not tell me what was inscribed.
