Hi.....does anyone take walks through Barnsley Cemetery that might be willing to look for a grave for me to see if there is a stone and, if so, what the inscription reads. This is my gg-grandmother. RACHEL COATES Died July 12, 1886 Buried July 14, 1886 in Section S161 Any connections would be great too!! Her maiden name was NORTON. Thanks much.....mary lou ************************************** Get a sneak peak of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
Hi Mary Lou Sorry that I can't help as I live 150+ miles away in Surrey! I have visited this cemetery a few years ago to see a gravestone of one of my ancestors, and found that there were a batch of the family gravestones nearby. So suggest that whoever visits, they check on nearby grave/stones for possible relations - maybe necessary for you to tell the "volunteer" about your near family relations. Hope this helps. Good luck Richard ps It was my impression that most of the gravestones there were in a remarkably good condition, so that the engraving was well preserved. Is it millstone grit!? Possibly the industrial pollution also helped in their preservation? -----Original Message----- From: west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Mlou1173@aol.com Sent: 12 July 2007 00:20 To: WEST-RIDING-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WRY] Barnsley Cemetery Hi.....does anyone take walks through Barnsley Cemetery that might be willing to look for a grave for me to see if there is a stone and, if so, what the inscription reads.
