Ford Park Cemetery, Plymouth.

With help from 1879graves I have corrected and updated my list of veterans buried in the cemetery and whose graves I have cleared.
This is ongoing. As the cemetery clears overgrown areas and as a volunteer I can improve the areas around the graves. A good example is the grave of William Henry Bevis.
Repair to the graves of Samuel Miller and Alfred Sadler are beyond my capabilities
I update photos to the Find a Grave website.

Hi Rai,

I shall endeavour to discover the locations listed and see if they are in need of clearing. (I'm sure they will be).

When I do clear the graves I add photos to the Find a Grave website.

Also I was under the impression that all graves from Milehouse Cemetery were reinterred at Efford. There is an area known as the Elephant pit, on the wall is the memorial to Francis Attwood DCM.
I haven't heard of Old Cemetery Lipson. Ford Park Cemetery has also been known as Pennycomequick and Plymouth Old Cemetery.  Its official name at the time of inception was The Plymouth, Devonport and Stonehouse Cemetery. I will try and find out if Thomas Smyth is buried here.

I am happy to be corrected if I make errors.

Hi Sam
Yes your right about Milehouse reinternments at Efford Cemetery.
Lipson is a area East of the main plymouth station i do not know which cemetery is the closet to it.
