The grave yard down below the Anglican Cathedral, is this not connected to St James? im sure i read it somewhere? ( mind you im sure some people are aliens ) i could be wrong? is this graveyard older than the cathedral?
All the gravestones bar one were taken away at the turn of the 20th C by Liverpool City Council and the grounds turned into an ornamental garden . It's a shame these grounds have largely been neglected over the last 100 years, no least the crumbling wall bounding Upper Parliament St. Would it were a Green Flag Park like St Nicholas , Pierhead, where also all the gravestones and bodies were removed around 1900.

There's no connection I 'm aware of between St James Churchyard and St James Cemetery.
