The owner of the Carlislehistory.co.uk website has now completed 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 24,000 names recorded. 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.
