Does anyone here live in Stockton?

My relatives are buried in the Oxbridge Road cemetery.

PM me if you could help.

Does anyone know anyother way I coudl try to obtain photographs of the graves?

Thanks.

My father is buried there,so i would be willing to help. the only problem is that it is a huge cemetery,so you would really need to know where the grave is. It is too large just to wander around looking for it. The register office in Stockton should be able to help you out as to the grave location. They were very helpful when I wanted to find where someone was buried in the Thornaby cemetery, they even sent someone out to meet me and show me where it was.

is the website for the register office, they also hold the burial books. If you contact them and can find the grave numbers, I will go and photograph them for you
