Cenotaphs
Does anybody know where I could find a list of cenotaphs in the accrington area, As it should give me a starting point on tracing the area that my grandfathers family come from.
Thanks, Dave. |

Re: Cenotaphs
Mercer Park in Clayton, and Gatty Park.
Maybe the British Legion could help? |

Re: Cenotaphs
Andrew, thanks ,I found the name of my great uncle on one of the pages i got from the site you sent. I didn't find which cenotaph he was in in Accrington although I know he is in accrington, however I found the cemetary he is buried in iN France, I found out that he was married, so there is something else to go on, Thanks again.
Dave. |
