Everton Necropolis

[Dovedale]

I'm looking for the grave of someone who was buried in 1886 in what was described as "Everton Necropolis (Low Hill Cemetery)".

I think it's all gone now. Was the cemetery the area now called Grant Gardens at the bottom of West Derby Road? That doesn't seem very big.

Does anyone know where the gravestones went from the cemetery? And were the graves just grassed over, or even built on?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dovedale,

I can not help with a location but this link may help you find what you are looking for >>>>>>

That lists all the churches in Liverpool I think.

Good luck with your quest.

Hello Dovedale. Take a look here: http://www.thescousehouse.net/index.php?showtopic=10306

That's a good link, but the I don't think the Necropolis was a church, just a cemetery.

I have a disc of burials in the Necropolis but unfortunatly its only for the years 1825 -1827

Thanks Ged, that's really helpful.

Thanks Robbo.

I know when the person I'm looking for was buried and in which plot in the cemetery, but I'd love to find his gravestone.

I now know that the Necropolis is the same piece of land that's now Grant Gardens. Thanks for the help in that.

Does anyone know what happened to the remains buried there - one site says they were moved - and where the headstones from the graves might be?

The first posting on the scousehouse thread though says that the bodies are still buried beneath?

I know there was talk of having to move remains from under a park around that area when they were thinking of laying tram lines or something.
