does anyone know the area of leamington spa where i may find gravestones from 1900 to 1920ish i want to search for old relativeswho were catholic by the name of yates it looks as if there has been a lot of development through the years and may be some are bulldozed ?

Not morbid.................dead people are very interesting:))

I would think you would need to know the church they were buried in, then contact the local diocese if the church concerned is no longer there..................they should know where the stones might be.

Charles, why should it be morbid? :-))))

This is what our hobby is all about! Tell us if you find any of your ancestors' graves, eh. I'd love to find some of mine, though my lot are up in Middlesex and I'm in the South-West.

Glenys and Charles why don't you post on the graveyard thread..................someone might be able to help you.

There is one on records and Little Lynns one on here

Maybe try the local council,,they hold records from this time.. .........as most towns has a borough owned run municicple run one,


,,RC if in municaple cemetery some have their own plotted area for burilas,,,,,

The local library could hold them on film....

Not morbid, my late father spent many an hour in churchyards, he used to call it 'bone reading'.
