You would have really enjoyed it. Personally I don't get much time to do things like this and am so glad I made the effort this time. If Julie sends me any newsletters I will PM you.Quote:

Pity 'cos the weather was so nice too. I wouldn't have come out if it was raining ! ha! :PDT_Xtremez_42:
Those catacombs - I remember when they were in much better condition. I don't think there's much of them left to see now ! They have deteriorated terrible over the years, mainly due to vandalism.

regular contact with EH so I know what is or isn't happening

Hi
what is the name on the stone ? steveb
He was named John Skelly.
I'm chasing my wife's ancestors (anything to annoy them :-) and have an email in to the cemeteries department right now asking for the location of a couple of Anfield graves. Maybe, seeing as how helpful you guys are, I should've come straight here!
Is it morbid to admit I like wandering around cemeteries?
(First post, so hello everyone, by the way)
