Worth going to see the 18th century gravestones I mentioned Steve, there are quite a few.

Hi Liz

yes I have been to CE6 a few times and found a good few. There are also a good few
from early 19th century,ie,1805,1806, which considering the cem wasn't there then.
It was started in 1856 and finished 1863 when the 1st burial of Margaret Place took
place, makes me think that either, there was a building with it's own churchyard,. or
they were moved from another cem. Priory Road is or was in the walton on the hill
township. All great fun

As you say there are a few but I suspect there are a lot more under the turf.

So sad reading some of the children's headstones...................but at least with they have something to be remembered by. What about the children of the poor who died in great numbers?

Anyone know, where were the pauper's graves in Liverpool ?

Hi
If you look in CE9 there are some double headstones which are the
graves of children from the seamans orphanage, as for paupers
graves I doubt you will find any as such as most would have been
buried in public unmarked plots. If a person is buried in a public
grave it is usualy with about 5 others, if at a later date a stone is
put up for that person, all in the plot have to be mentioned. If you
look at John Kirk,VC he was in a public grave and when his stone
went up, all the others are listed

Yoko probably has them. His mum, Julia is in Allerton, just a simple
wooden unmarked cross and a small concrete cat.

It has a headstone on it now Steve.. has done for about 18 months now.
the cats still there though..
I'd show the pics...but I removed them from my website..
and I got an email from Johns sister Julia thanking me for removing the photos..

I'd have removed them months before if Julia had contacted me earlier..

Kev.. bear this in mind please..
the Lennon family dont like pics of their mums grave showing on the internet..

Visited Anfield Cemetery this morning.....

just for interest:

Anfield Cemetery: (CWGC)

In December 1914, Liverpool became one of the 21 Auxiliary Patrol Bases and in February 1915, the base of the 10th Cruiser Squadron. During the Second World War, Liverpool was headquarters of Western Approaches Command and a manning depot for officers and men of the Merchant Navy who agreed to serve with the Royal Navy for the duration of the war. Liverpool (Anfield) Cemetery contains burials of both wars. The majority are in two war graves plots in Section 5, with Screen Walls bearing the names of those buried there. The rest of the war burials are scattered throughout the cemetery. There are 445 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in the cemetery. Included in this total are 17 casualties who are commemorated by name on the Screen Wall as their graves in Bootle (St Mary) Churchyard and Liverpool (St James) Cemetery could no longer be maintained. Second World War burials number 459 including 2 unidentified British soldiers. There is also another Screen Wall memorial to those whose burials are not marked by headstones. There are also 67 war graves of other nationalities, the majority of them Dutch and Norwegian Merchant seamen, and there are 9 non war service burials here.

Hi
yes there was, long since gone. There was also pavements around the cherry lane
coach entrance. The land by the entrance is now CE16 and contains most of the
people mudered recently in Liverpool. You can't miss them.Liz mail me direct as I
have solved the CE6 1700,s stones mystery.

This is true, and LRO don't have any info. The city engineers took
most of trhe existing pic,s, maybe they have info. LRO did a cd with
8000 city engineers pic,s but no longer sell it.

Hi Liz
Walton workhouse, aka walton hospital.
Walton cem like most dosn't really have a paupers section
just public plots were maybe six or more are buried in an
unmarked grave. If you look at John Kirk VC,s grave in anfield
you wil see six others mentioned on his stone, as this was an public
grave

I will find it for you.. Usually there isn't just apublic section
as most sections have public plots within that section, be it
rc,ce or whatever.
