Hi All,

Off to records office 27/05/2012, sorry such short notice. Finally a chance to pay a visit.

Willing to do a quick look up if I can. Want to look up a couple of things for myself, hope the good weather, may make it quite quiet.

I will be there early when a bit quite???, maybe not we all may have the same idea, then home to enjoy the sun.

If you need a quick look up after I have found what I need, and I have time, so can't promise, as one may take a bit of time. Could you let me know asap, with as much info as possible.
Edited, time of post did notice after midnight after my post. and it is for 27/05/2012

regards

Apologies, all

With this beautiful weather I suspect they are out in the garden, hope you get there soon too!

Hi Mary

Went to records office this morning with mum who is 73. We where looking for a burial record for her still born brother in 1952, you may remember my previous post. In addition we were looking for her grandmother who died in 1922, who apart from 1911 census and death certificate, we cannot find.

Good news, if you can call it that is that we located the burial record for mums baby brother, buried in a public grave, and although the receipt for burial shows,

Coffin, especially made. With Fitments
Swansdown Catholic Burial gown
Silk and Swansdown interior.
Limousine
Grave at Anfield cemetery.

The records show, public grave and no ceremony, how sad, Grandma and Grandad must have paid all they could, but could not afford any more as they had five other children. Went to Anfield after taking mum home, and found the section. Although I knew there would be not headstone, found the section to be the one, that has just had all the Headstones laid flat for H&S reasons, which I fully understand. It was just a sad situation.

Now to the good news, I am off in the near future, to Records Office and to Sandhill's, as with the excellent help of the staff at the Records office( will post a seperate Post to them), the other records are there.

Totally enjoyed my 2 hours, would have stayed longer if I could. TIP - go when the weather is like today so quiet

Will give more notice next time, for anyone who want's a look up at either office

regards

Michelle

Great news that you found what you were looking for! Description of a baby's burial always brings a tear to the eye doesn't it - silk and swansdown, how much care was taken.

Don't forget you need to order the records ahead at Sandhills.

Thanks MaryA

You have just reminded me, thank you, they did say ring up and arrange.

Now to arrange a afternoon off work to visit.
