Comment: Excellent work, very proud of all The Friends of Jesmond Cemetery. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more photos as the work progresses. Well Done.

Comment: Many thanks for looking after the cemetery. I visited on sun 26oct to find my grandparents graves with the help of a photo taken in 1948, Maud Ethel Thompson died 1948. I think my grandfather Herbert A Thompson is buried next to her but the headstone is unmarked. How do I find out if this is correct and can i arrange to have his name put on his headstone. I think he died in 1979/80. They lived in eastfield lodge Benton. My son is a student and lives in jesmond. I hope to come and clear up the plot next time we visit I hope this will be ok

Comment: Dear Ray, I was in the cemetery today and would like to congratulate both you and the team on all your hard work in clearing brambles, ivy and weeds from the site - what a difference, keep it up. David Hyde.

Comment: My great grandmother and grandfather are buried in the cemetary, moved in 1972 to a different plot because of the proposed motorway plan at that time. Having spent New Year in Newcastle, my daughter is today undertaking a search for the plot! I went over the documents with my mother last night and so my daughter has the relevant information; but will she find it? Will there be a superintendent to direct her to no.3, Section F7, Ward IX? Your website is most useful! I should become a friend!

Comment: Many congratulations and thanks to the Friends. This is a beautiful cemetery and an important part of the city's history and heritage. It's great work you are all doing to get it back into shape. Terrific website too. Keep it up!

Comment: For years I've wondered about this cemetery as a number of my ancestors are buried here according to family documents, including my Great-gt Grandfather John Bradshaw who was Mayer of Gateshead. Fantastic to track you down with a bit of googling! I would dearly love to visit some time and pay my respects - it's good to know that the cemetery is being looked after. I live very close to our local cemetery here in Sheffield, which has come under the custodianship of a similar scheme - it's quite a beauty spot! Thank you:-)

Comment: I visited the grave of my baby son this morning and was amazed at the difference you have made. it is now a pleasure to spend time walking in this beautiful cemetary. This has inspired me to contact the Friends to see if I can help.
