Carlisle Cemetery Catalogued

The owner of the Carlislehistory.co.uk website has been recording the names on the gravestones in Carlisle's Richardson Street cemetery, the city's main burial place since 1855.

A surname index has been produced to the 20,000 names recorded.
 An ongoing project, but very useful for those tracing relatives or carrying out family history research.

The site operates a very basic A - Z index and searching the index is free of charge.

More detailed information, such as full gravestone transcription, map and set of pictures are available for a small charge.
