This cemetery closed in the 1950s, and the stones removed, and grassed over for a community football playing field.

I have two burails there, but do not know if there was a grave marker or grave register for the site- I presume so since all the stones were removed.. and it had been a prestige site at one period.

I am looking for information on=
1. George Massey buried 1879 aged 43
2. Margaret Massey buried 1872 aged 32-
possibly with child. Frederick
.And any others buried in that grave.

thank you for any information.

Unfortunately, the records are not transcribed by grave number, so it's a case of trawling EVERY page of records

Thank you very much for your time and trouble, That's very informative.

I have only information on those you have shown on the 1871 census..

Apparently the graves stones- were removed, but only names and dates were recorded, no inscriptions- that might have given clues ot relationships.

I will take up your suggestion..
thank you again for such a detailed response. :-)
