    It's in two halves- Karl Marx is in the newer- and duller- part. The spectacular older half is (or was when I was last there a few years ago) in the 'care' of the 'friends of Highgate Cemetery'. The representative- a lady- of that body who was on duty when I last visited was rude and officious, shouting at anyone trying to take photographs...

    You'd be much better off visiting one of the other great Victorian cemeteries when you next visit the capital. I particularly love Kensal Green ("For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen; Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green". G K Chesterton).



    It's beautiful, vast and rambling- and there aren't any bossy boots telling you what to do or where to go (or not). The list of famous people there is impressive- Charles Babbage, Blondin, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Wilkie Collins, Marcus Garvie, Harold Pinter, William Makepeace Thackeray, Anthony Trollope, not to mention a daughter of Winston Churchill and two children of King George III- oh, and Freddie Mercury was cremated here...

    Brompton Cemetery is pretty wonderful too, with an equally distinguished population- Samuel Cunard, Brian Glover, Bernard Levin, Emmeline Pankhurst etc etc..

    I'll get round to posting some of my pictures of these places one day...

    Dover Street was at the rear of the Liverpool Infirmary which was about one mile from the city centre or "downtown" as you would call it. The church of St Michael's in the Hamlet was a few miles south of here in the Toxteth Park district of the city. If the person you are looking for was buried in Toxteth Park municipal cemetery then you may be able to find their grave by searching this indexed site:

    http://www.toxtethparkcemetery.co.uk/

    There were however other now defunct cemeteries closer to Dover Street, namely Low Hill & St James cemeteries. I believe their burial records are held at Liverpool Record Office but finding individual records is a slow process as they are not indexed. Good luck!
