TimeBandit52 10 #1 Posted December 1, 2019 Help! Wife and I are the only people to tend our family grave in Abby Lane. Although both born and raised in Sheffield we now live in Hinckley and only get to tend it five or six times a year. However we got up on Sunday the first I'd December with flowers etc. To find a bunch of red roses there which only looked about a week old. The grave holds my grandma Betsy Ann Died 1935 my grandad Joseph died about 1962 and my uncle Douglas killed in about 1940 a war casualty. They were Whitham Sandersons. Also my parents ashes Jack and Elsie Downing can anbody please throw light on where the flowers came from. I think I am the last of this line so would appreciate any info on this one 🙏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat 10 #2 Posted December 1, 2019 Sometimes you get people who will stick flowers on graves that they think there is no one left to tend them. Maybe your grandma’s grave is one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gramps48 10 #3 Posted December 1, 2019 similar thing for me at Shiregreen Cemetary, my grandfather(not by blood) John Francis Clarkburn, who left us in 1960,s, was left a card by someone unknown to me sa ying "sleep well my lovely". I was very close to him as a child and cannot think who this could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

iamwoody 19 #5 Posted December 2, 2019 They could be from someone researching family history ( distant relative ) and may have visited the grave to find and find out more information on the family ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
