elainebond	Marlpool Cemetery replied on: 10/13/2006 11:59:04 AM I know that the records have been transcribed up until 1912, but has anyone done them after that period? I have found the transcriptions to be most helpful when tracing family tree members. Elaine

Roger Hellings has transcribed burials through to April 1912 if anyone needs a lookup I have a database.
keith longden	Marlpool Cemetery replied on: 9/29/2006 8:33:01 PM I know it sounds a bit morbid , but who was the first person to be buried in the cemetary . Was it a local dignatory or some poor misguided local ?
Azzabuv This message was updated on 7/9/2005 8:34:28 PM by Azzabuv	Marlpool Cemetery replied on: 7/9/2005 8:31:07 PM When i was talking to the Cemetery Superintendent, in the 1990s, he said the N.Western corner of the cemetery was the oldest part of the burial ground. (At the side of the path leading to Marlpool). After approximately 100 years had past after the original burial, the graves were re-opened and any deceased tramps/homeless persons, were then interred above the original body. So much for R.I.P.? Azzabuv. P.S. Thanks, Robert. I was going to ask if he was an Ancestor of yours. That's a certain amount of finger pounding saved.

Jennypeg Researcher	Marlpool Cemetery replied on: 6/4/2005 6:34:53 PM So the extensive views would have been , the windmill and pond and the other way a view over Shipley and Smalley ? that's better that todays view. 1858 HEANOR The Cemetery is now nearly completed, and will be opened on the first day of the New Year. It is four acres in extent, and the soil is of a light and dry nature, which will dispense with the necessity of draining. A better site could scarcely have been selected. It is very pleasantly situated, commanding extensive views of the surrounding country. The chapels are two elegant structures built in the form of a cross, and form a picturesque object from the Ilkeston road. The Cemetery is equally divided into two parts, the east side being appropriated to the church, and the west side to the dissenters. That portion set apart for the church was consecrated last Thursday, by the Bishop of Lichfield, in the presence of a great number of spectators. The inhabitants are extremely well satisfied with the taste and judgment of the Burial Board, and the manner in which it has carried out its duties. From the readiness it has always shown to consult and carry out as far as practicable the wishes of the ratepayers, and the anxious desire to avoid any unnecessary expense, it forms a great and favourable contrast to its contemporary the board of Health, for this township, which hitherto appears to have acted on quite a contrary principle.
