Hello
I was wondering if anyone can help me i have two family graves at cheetham hill cemetery
Grave 2044 and 2045 family graves up to now i have 5 in one of the graves and 4 in the other there is a couple of other grave away also Richardsons yet to make a connection
I do know cemetery is not there anymore but was wondering if there is anyway of finding out if they had head stone

Also back in the 1850 if the graves were owned by family members dose that mean they may of had a bit of money to be the grave owners because i also have family members that are in parpus gtaves
There is quite a few grave owners buy the surname of Richardson.
There is one that has a volt but yet to make a connection

This history of the cemetery seems to indicate that all headstones were destroyed and burials removed to a mass grave.
