    Just wondering whether this question was ever sorted? I recently took a whack of photos at St. Oswald‘s and am in the process of uploading them to Findagrave.com. If you would like, I can look through the photos and see if the one you are looking for is there.

    Cheers.

    Oh, and no charge! That would be silly.

    Thanks for your kind offer. I'm mainly looking for the surname Sharples.

    Here is one stone which I loaded to Findmygrave --

    I will search for more and let you know as I go. The photo first appears sideways but click on it to enlarge and it appears properly upright. Sorry, cannot make out the age of Jane Sharples, and oddly, I could not find her listed in the registry on Ancestry.

    But that isn‘t the first time I have been unable to find a burial in the registry for Liverpool Catholic burials for stones that are in existence at St. Oswald‘s. There is a bunch of stones near the back of the church at the rear of the parking lot, up against a retaining wall in the middle of a blackberry thicket, for which there are records for some and not for others. At least, they are not listed in the above registry on Ancestry. Perhaps they are elsewhere and have yet to be digitized.

    Thanks so much, Yithio, it does not surprise me at all that the registry on that particular website is incomplete. I'll have to grag out the Sharples file again, thanks

    Hi, I too have a relative buried in St Oswalds. I wrote and phoned the church, all to no avail.

    Maria Harrison died October 1863, but I don't even know if there was a head stone. I have tried logging on to Find a grave, but it will not work !!! Any body got any ideas, please

    Some parts of the burial grounds at St Oswald's were landscaped and graves later exhumed when a school building was being planned. There was some confusion in the past about the discovery of graves at one site that led some people to consider some strange theories about why they were there. The truth was the people concerned didn't realise they were digging up an old disused burial ground they should have looked at old maps of the area! Bodies, gravestones and plaques were found and removed. More information here:-
