I had a similar problem and contacted FRIENDS OF WALKLEY CEMETERY and they sorted me out.

The organisation is i believe linked to St.Marys Church on South rd.

Hello,

 

I am the chairman of the Friends of Walkley Cemetery.

 

I have found Stanley's entry in the burial database but I cannot see Doreen. Can you tell me any more about her? Is she Stanley's sister?

 

Stanley is not buried in a pauper's grave. He is buried with his parents Albert and Ellen in Grave L99. This grave has an inscription which has not yet been recorded. This grave is likely to be very overgrown.

 

I also have the baptisms of Stanley and two siblings.

 

If you like I can post the details here or I will send it in a pm.

 

Regards,

 

Hugh Waterhouse

Hi , Hugh yes Doreen is Stanleys older sister , believed buried in a paupers grave somewhere near a wall near the jewish cemetery ,as for the grave L99 i am led to to beleive there are others with the name Howard in that grave but i don,t think they are on the inscription because as i remember from a visit many years ago i think it just mentioned Albert and Ellen and recently i visited and as you say it must be overgrown because i couldn,t find it . p.s i have p.m,d you ,

thanks Greg

Hi Hugh - I noticed a post from you sometime ago about the Jewish cemetery at Walkley. You said that you had a list of the graves in the cemetery and I’m seeking relatives of mine named Simbler and Cliffe who I believe are buried there. Is it possible for you to share the list. Many thanks.

There is an Alice cliffe on st Michael’s burial records but I couldn’t see a simbler.

 

im not sure if st Michael’s records only cover the catholic graves though - there may be separate records for the Jewish cemetery - I don’t know.

Hi Makapaka - thanks for that. Yes it is the Jewish cemetery list I am looking for. I wondered if Hugh had that.
