Cemetery search request
 
I have the plot and grave number for a burial in Accrington cemetery - would someone be willing to have a look and see if there is a headstone?

The lady in the cemetery office couldn't have been more helpful when I went last week.

She looked the name up in her records, found the number, then gave me a copy of the plans and marked the exact spot of the grave I was looking for.

If you already have a number it will be even easier for her to locate the plot.

Good luck.

I located the CB plots via an online map and set off this afternoon.

I could not find a grave marked 120,the majority had no grave number that I could see.

I found CB122 and two graves to the left a headstone for a Mrs B!

No number but the name was Hilda Brownrigg.

I shall go again but next time visit the office as Gremlin suggests.

I have been today and got the location from the office
There is no headstone on CB120.
In the picture,122 is in the foreground and 118 is at the rear.
