Graves at the Parish Church St. John Divine, Lytham.

Leaver · Graves at the Parish Church St. John Divine, Lytham.

Hi, I hope it is not rude to ask, me being a new forum member and all, but I was wondering if any members live in the vicinity of St. John Divine, Lytham, and if so, would they be willing to have a look and photograph any Leaver graves, particularly the Gray Leaver mentioned below.

Southport Visiter, July 22nd, 1952

You have some good information there but just thought I'd let you know that we have society members that do this kind of work for other society members. Lytham is only a hop, skip and a jump from Southport as the crow flies but it's a bit further out when you follow the road around the river estuary.

Can I add that I offer some limited free research in SOUTHPOT for our members. This wouldn't include finding graves and taking photos because I wouldn't know where to begin. The grave yards are so large.

However, there may be someone on the forum who lives in Lytham and knows the grave yard mentioned - it may be a small church one.

The North Meols (Southport) FHS doesn't cover that area

Hi Jane and Dotty,

Thanks for your reply.

I thought it was worth asking. I have never visited Southport or Lytham so I am unfamiliar with the distance between the two, although it did look close on the map.

I also take your point on the size of the graveyard; St. John Divine could be huge for all I know and I have no idea where the graves are located.
