I know my Great Grandad is buried in St peter's church yard, Blackley Manchester. Who would I contact to find where the grave is? Would it be the church it's self, or the Manchester Cemetary's department. Thanks in advance Sue

The burial register for the parish churchyard would be in the county records office. They would probably have a plan of the churchyard showing where the grave is too. nell

I have known these plans to be at a church. We have been able to see a detailed plan of a churchyard, with plots clearly marked and named. Perhaps a call to the vicar would clarify the situation at St Peters.

Sue Try Manchester Cemeteries Dept - they were fantastic in finding the details of my 2 x GGFs grave. I wanted to know if he had actually been buried there (rather than just appearing as an inscription on the grave, if you see what I mean). They replied very promptly, telling me that he HAD been buried there, and that any other info would be 10 quid - but then gave me the info I wanted anyway! (For nothing). Good luck - I used to play in St Peter's Churchyard as a child (strange child) Olde Crone
