Graveyard Research

This page was created as a result of an idea to make family research easier for those living outwith the parish who might have ancestors who were buried in All Saints graveyard, Granby during the 18th and 19th centuries. The graveyard was replaced by the Parish Cemetery on Sutton Lane in 1897 which does not form part of this project. The onsite survey was undertaken by John Rainbow and David Powell in February 2020 with additional family background research by Carole Rainbow
