Seeming as i am feeling a bit better and not really got much more time to get this done i was wondering i am going to go finding graves on Tuesday with my mum she knows where some of the family are but not all of them ( i also have a few from hubbys side locally) but how do you know which church yard they are in, i dread to count how many there are around here is it just a matter of walking around to see what you find??

Later ones tend to be in the cemeteries especially in the larger towns and cities, for example Lincoln doesn't have many churchyards but does have a couple of very larger cemeteries.

If you are talking about Lincolnshire then the FHS has added thousands of records to online databases that are soon to go onto FMP.

Bear in mind that not everyone had a headstone - so "no memorial" doesn't always mean no relly buried there.

Mmm

You might find the monumental inscriptions (compiled by Lincs FHS) listed at Boston library, they certainly have some at Lincoln and often come in an outer cover giving the plan and numbering system used (it isn't the same as the plot numbers in every case).

It might be worth giving them a ring, at least the library is a bit warmer and might give some info to help locate them.
