Thank you, Father Paddy for the great website. I can't really see my Mother and Dad's grave but the photos take me close.
As a kid in the 40s/50s I scroamed all over the "Sem" as we called it. We built dens, smoked out wasps' nests, hunted grass snakes and field mice. We never damaged the graves but were often chased off by the sexton. I live near Bath and don't often get to Walkley, but I think of my parents in that beautiful spot and now I can see it too. Thank you.

Thanks for your positive feedback. If you need any assistance locating your parents graves, email me the surnames and approx dates of burial and I will try and find their plot reference.

Anthea, I have just searched all the surnames for "Fontana" and it is not listed. Do you have any further details (eg: year of death, Christian name etc?)

A new section has been added with an overhead plan of the cemetery with prominent headstones and their positions (latitude and longitude etc.) This should facilitate the visual location of graves by noting their plot reference and counting the number of graves from that spot.

Andrea,

Many thanks for your kind words.

I think I have found the plot you are searching for:
No: 17085 26 October 1944, St. Mary's, Plot J245, Enrico Mascio, Age 65, Address: 1/2 Stockton Street. Priest: Fr. Brady.

I'm not sure if there is a tomb stone but will take a look next time I am at St. Michael's.

Martin

Thank you for such a well-done site! I am doing genealogy on my 3rd great grandmother and have found a matching name - Bridget Reid, in St Bridget's section, grave #144. I can't be sure it's her but am wondering if you would mind checking that site and possibly sending a photo if there is a stone? I am all the way in Bonita Springs, Florida and don't think I'll ever get the chance to come in person. Are there any other Reids in the same area?
Thank you so much for your help.

Been to St Michaels today to have a look for my gt gt gmother (and her nearly born ofsprings) grave O42. Her name was Eliz Neil and had been allegedly murdered by gt gt gfather but he only got 6 mths hard labour which was not much prob for a stonemason!! Looks like O42 is some sort of communual grave - many unrelated ones buried there - is that true? I was adopted in 1948 and have been doing research into family for past couple of years. Her muredr is all documneted in Sheff Library in newspapers for April 1900. Not dead (!!) sure where O42 is but have good idea.

I visited the cemetery earlier this week, the grass has been cut around the graves above the chapel, this is where my Grandads grave is and it does tend to get very over grown. So can I just say thank you for all the recent work that has been done to tidy the whole area in general.
Also may I take this opportunity to say how sad I was to hear that Mr Vincent Hale has recently passed away, he was a real gentleman and will be missed.

Thanks you Martin for your help with my research. Also, this is a great website and the chapel and cemetery seem very lovely and well kept. I hope to be able to visit in the future. All the best, Crystal

Thank you for your help. Found the grave very quickly. It was a very good spot in the only flat ground. The copper beach tree give the location a nice feel.
Sorry I missed you so that I could thank you in person.
Regards Dave Myatt
Please send me details of the trust who maintain the site, so I can make a contribution towards the up keep.

Hello Martin
My grandparents and great grandad are buried in St Marys section plot J245. Alicandro and Di Mascio. My father seems to think that when his father purchased the plot it was a plot for 7 internment’s. Meaning that there is still room for 4 more family members. Is there any way you could find out for me. My father who is 80 yrs old is getting a little worried over this. Thank you for your help.

His number is: 0114 2680716 and his email is: [email protected]. His address: Fr. P. Walsh, St. Vincent's Church, 40 Pickmere Road, Sheffield S10 1GY. Best of luck, Martin.
