I have been looking for my grandparents for a while. I was told they were in a certain cemetery but could find no gravestone. |

Probably an idea to contact Hull bereavement services, they should be able to tell you if there is a map of the cemetery to locate the grave. Be aware that old graves may have been reused so to speak, I located my grandfather's grave but there was only a headstone to someone else there. |

I would think that 'compartment' could be interpreted as 'section' |

When I was looking for graves I wrote to the cemetery (not in Hull) and they very kindly gave me the information. Some of the graves I found with headstones, which included the name I was looking for and others buried in the grave. Some of the graves were just grassed over and I was told that the headstones had probably been removed because they had become dangerous and could've fallen over. It's worth a visit to the cemetery office or just drop them a line - maybe even email if you can find an email address. |
