It is quicker (often by return of post) and cheaper (£6.50 as against £8.50) to get them from Birkenhead. It is always so with local register offices, except Liverpool. Liverpool has a back-log of about 8 weeks, so then it is quicker to get it from Southport.

Wendy: Thanks. Yes, I know that Flaybrick cemetery is very large. Someone wrote earlier that the office has records that would help locate a grave site. Here's what I have: DAVID BROADFOOT KENYON died August 21, 1880 His wife: MAY ANNE McADAM KENYON, died 1905 (don't have exact date) I recently found a letter indicating that she is buried at Flaybrick, so assume he is as well. I realize this could be a significant time commitment for someone willing to undertake it, but it sure would be helpful. Perhaps a phone call to the cemetery would yield at least basic information. Many thanks. Madison in Minnesota

Many thanks to all who responded so helpfully to my request for information about Flaybrick Memorial Gardens, especially to the kind soul who provided such a graphic description of the Cemetery. Realizing that it is a fairly large cemetery, I now boldly ask if SKS would be willing and able to locate and photograph the graves of my gt-grandparents, DAVID BROADFOOT KENYON, and his wife, MAY ANNE MCADAM KENYON. This would be a wonderful addition to my genealogy. Digital photos would be the easiest to transmit "across the pond", but we could figure out a way to send regular snapshots. I am most willing to reimburse whoever is willing to undertake this mission. Many thanks in advance. Madison in Minnesota (USA)
