Thanks folks--all good stuff. The grave in question is my Grt Grt Grandfathers, who was buried in 1836 in a inner city churchyard that was badly damaged in WW2, and eventually demolished in 1956, the whole area has been redeveloped I'm told. The council said it would have a genealagist check it out ,but charge me £25.00 for the privilege. Surely the Church would be required in law to record all this change, in some central register--somewhere? Having been in contact with the Dioces, nobody has got back to me. |

When a church is demolished the graves aren't necessarily removed. |

I think that would depend on how old the graves were and whether they could be identified - many old ones could have illegible gravestones. |

When a Church is demolished, Does the Anglican Church (in this case) record exactly where the exhumed bodies were re-interred, or is that the local council's responsiblilty. In which case which one ? I'm talking Birmingham to be exact. Thanks Arfermo. |
