    Default Location of Grave in Horncastle Lincs

    I wish to locate a grave in Horncastle cemetery of a lady who died in the June quarter of 1915.
    Can anybody suggest the best way of doing so other than an actual visit which would be a fair journey from here?
    many thanks

    Default Lincoln Cemetaries

    The Lincoln Cemetaries office are very helpful, they might be able to direct you to which offices you will need to talk to, who will have the burial records for the cemetaries, you can contact them on 01522 873646; the 158 bus service from Lincoln central bus station (near the rail station) is a good run.

    Good luck

    Default Family Grave Successfully Located at Horncastle

    Many thanks SBS, Freddie and Arthur. The cemetery manager at Horncastle went out of his way to help me, even visited the grave to check on the headstone and then rang me back. A really helpful man.
    It's resolved the family legend that grandmother was not buried in her home town.
