Liverpool Grave Yards

[steveb]

I remember someone on Yo, saying there were various bits, and pieces, of various demolished buildings,in Anfield cem'! The sailors home being one that was named,I think?

I don't think so. All the bits of buildings were afaik the old walton priory which
stood on the site, and the bits of the two demolished chapels.
The stones Liz mentioned are very much like the markers that are on the
corners of paths and roads. When they opened up the new section CE16
by the cherry lane coach entrance, they moved huge blocks of stone.I
mentioned walton priory but as yet have not found any pic,s as portcities
Liverpool site don't work. It was mentioned that the chambre hardman
collection had a pic, but again no joy.

So there was a priory,then! I just remember some large pieces of stonework,at the back of the cemetery,and meant to revisit,after it was mentioned on here,but no need now!

I'd been told there was.......... then was told there wasn't!
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

she has seen this in Anfield

[Ged]

I've got some headstone pics from St. James cemetery to do with the orphans from Myrtle Street orphanage. How very sad that al must have been. Great pics Steve.

Thanks Steve,........... hadn't seen it. very sad but at least they have a headstone to remember them by.

Following on from 'early graves' there are more in section CE4 one dating 1717.

Has anyone got any idea where John Lennon was buried(?) because I've never heard anybody mention it before.

He was not. Nor to my knowledge to we know where the ashes went. Yoko would not say. Lots of rumors

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