Allerton Cemetery on
Woolton Road, Garston, was
opened in 1909. There are three distinct sections:
Church of England; Roman Catholic and General or
un-consecrated. The layout of the sections can be seen in this
diagram.
|
|
A single registers were
kept for all burials. |
|
This index covers all
the 16,800+ burials recorded in the
registers (1909-1924)
|
|
The original records are
held at Liverpool Record Office Ref
352 CEM 5/1/1-3.
Microfilmed copies of these records can
be obtained through any LDS (Mormon)
family history centre Ref
FHL BRITISH Film
1564286 & 1564287 |
| The index gives the
Register number, the page number (for
Registers 352 CEM/5/1/2-3) , the
entry number, the year of burial, the
forename and surname of the deceased. |
| The original
registers also give 'rank of
profession' as well as
the 'late abode'
of the deceased, the name of the person
performing the burial ceremony, which of
the three sections the burial took place
in and the
owner of the grave (in the case of a
private grave). |
| A second series of
records, known as order books, were also
compiled by the cemetery authorities. In
addition to the information provided in
the burial register the order books give
the time of the burial, the price of the
grave, the name of the undertaker and
often both the name and address of the
person who paid for the grave.
|
| If you know the
number of a private grave in Allerton
Cemetery - or any other Liverpool
Council cemetery - the ORDER NUMBERS
of everyone buried in the grave can be
obtained by telephoning Liverpool
Council (0151 233 3004). It is important
to note that although the order books
are arranged in a rough chronological
order the entry numbers in the burial
register and the ORDER NUMBERS are
NOT IDENTICAL so if you obtain a
list of order numbers from the council
it will be necessary to consult the
order books rather than the burial
registers. |
