    1. Re: [YORKSGEN] Linthorpe Cemetery
    2. On our last couple of trips to the UK I found cemetery offices very helpful looking for graves when I didn't have much information. A person in one office offered to arrange for someone to take me to the grave if I couldn't find it and at another cemetery the men working there actually rang the cemetery office to get the grave number and took me to the actual grave. Mind you I could add that this was in Lancashire thereby starting another heated discussion! Sorry, just joking.
