They never said did they? WallBuilder 05-03-2009, 15:15 I think all the graves featured were in the GENERALcemetary ALTHOUGH i MUST ADMIT THE CAMERA ANGLES MADE IT LOOK A LOT NICER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. DUFFEMS 05-03-2009, 16:06 It was the General Cemetery. Duffems Joanl 06-03-2009, 14:42 Which one is the General one then? is that the one on Cemetery Road? Sorry most of my relatives are in Tinsley Park. DUFFEMS 06-03-2009, 15:24 Top of Cemetery Road, off Ecclesall Road. Apparently, there is a tour on Saturday, see across on "Sheffield Discussions". smary 06-03-2009, 18:02 there is a great site where you can search the first 6000 burials - http://www.gencem.org/burialrecords/records.php |
