Hi,

Some very kind people on here have done some look ups for me on people who were buried at Welford Road cemetery.

Now I have the plot details, I was thinking of going to see if I could find some of their graves. Obviously it's a very big cemetery and I have little hope of just coming accross the graves.

Does anybody know if there is maybe a map of the various plots online somewhere or if there would be somebody to help me there?

Thanks for your help,

Vicky X

If you contact the council burials they will give you a map and directions to the graves you are lookin for if you give them names, dates etc.

I know there is a kind of map at the entrance to the cemetery which tells you the codes for each section - I think they are lettered AA,AB etc.

I think there is also a phone number you can ring as I'm sure the office there at the cemetery entrance is staffed on certain days/times each week.
