Burial following an execution

Post by MaryA »

Hi, does anybody have any idea where a body may have been buried following a hanging at Kirkdale Gaol in 1856 please? I'm at a bit of a loss to know where to look except Necropolis, St James or St Mary's Kirkdale. I was hoping not to have to work my way through all of them if anybody had knowledge.

The bodies were originally buried within the confines of the gaol but all were exhumed in 1893 and reinterred at Kirkdale Cemetery. See https://www.sarsfieldmemorialsliverpool.co.uk/3031-2/

This enquiry was received via our website and mention has been made that there is a TV programme looking at the case for a miscarriage of justice. I hope the poster keeps us up to date with whether the programme comes off as I'm sure it will be interesting.
