Josephine, I will most certainly do that, but nothing has been received as yet. My Nan's children were buried at Greenbank cemetery in the years 1898, 1903 and 1908 Patricia A. ________________________________ > I have sent an email to Canford to see if they offer any services > regarding searches for children who were buried in with others.

Consecrated in 1871, it first comprised around 18 acres, but 16 more acres were purchased in 1899. In 1906, the fee for a first-class grave with the right of further burials during a 75-year period was 6 pounds, while a fourth-class grave was 1 pound 19 shillings. A grave selected by the cemetery officials cost 10 shillings and 8 shillings for children. The fee for the burial of children must have been too steep for families who were poor and where there was no spare money. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
