Southern Cemetery

The gravestone in Southern Cemetery in Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester for James Wainwright reads:

This information was given to my aunt by her cousin Joseph Wainwright (grandson of the above named Joseph Wainwright). He visited the cemetery and wrote down the inscription. Although James and his daughter Elizabeth are listed on this headstone they are not actually buried here. This grave site is listed as Section 1 Non Conformist grave #2296. James is buried in Section 1 Non Conformist grave #7327. Elizabeth died on Jan. 18, 1917 and is buried in Wooroloo Cemetery, Western Australia, Church of England, Grave #39
