Why dont you try the Manchester Archives and Local studies at Central Library, Manchester - according to their website they hold 'Microfilm copies of the registers for closed cemeteries in the City, and of the earlier registers for some of the existing cemeteries can be seen in the Microfilm Unit. They include Ardwick 1838-1950; Cheetham Hill Wesleyan 1815-1968; Manchester General, Harpurhey 1837-1905; Philips Park, Bradford 1866-1987; and Rusholme Road, Chorlton-on-Medlock 1821-1933. In addition the Archives section has, in its Withington Workhouse collection, a grave register and interment records. There are other cemetery records not held by Manchester Archives and Local Studies. For later records for Gorton, Philips Park and Manchester General (and for indexes to the earlier records for the first two), and also for Blackley Cemetery and Crematorium, contact the Registrar at Blackley Cemetery and Crematorium, Victoria Avenue, Higher Blackley, Manchester, M9 8JP. For records of Southern Cemetery, contact Southern Cemetery, Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton, Manchester, M21 2GL. For St Joseph's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Moston, write to the cemetery, at Moston Lane, Moston, Manchester, M10. Monumental inscriptions for many local graveyards can be seen either on microfilm, in printed book form or in the Archives section. A card index to Monumental Inscriptions and Cemetery records can be seen in the Microfilm Unit. |

Do you know where his wife was buried - or other family members? My grandfather was transported from North London to a Norfolk village during the 1st world war to be buried with his wife. nell |

When I was trying to find out where my grandparents were buried (1940) I rang the cemeteries section of the council and asked them. Can't remember what details I had to give, but I think it was only their full names, and when they died. It might be worth a try. Trish |

My GGGrandfather Thomas Laing died in 18th February 1881. I just don't know where to go as far as searching for his burial. Tried Manchester General, Southern Cemetery.Harpurhey He lived at 155 Oldham Road Manchester and he died at that address, so I have no idea where any other cemeteries can be located near or around this address |
