No worry Carol, your relatives were buried in the Consecrated Section (North Division) of the cemetery, also called section B. The original map of the cemetery showed the sections to be as on the new map but somewhere along the line, someone thought it would be better to make the designations A,B,C,D to appear in a clockwise form which caused more than a few problems especially for those seeking their relatives graves such as yours.

Hi Chris, Arrived back home a week ago but have been sick with Bronchitis. Haven't gone through all my paperwork I gathered yet.
With regard to the Coleford Map Cemetery does that mean that William Shott is not buried where you thought?

Unfortunately, the map of Coleford Cemetery located in Miscellaneous Documents is incorrect. It seems that at some time, possibly in the 1930's, someone decided to remodel the map which should read, clockwise, A B D C into ABCD (to make it look tidy presumably). I will e-mail a correction based on the original architects drawing/map of the cemetery crafted in 1868.

I don't know anything about Mary Ann Porter's first husband.
William Shott died 21st Nov 1927 (I have Death Certificate)
Mary Ann Shott (Porter) died 15th Sep 1933 (have Death Certificate)
When I come over to England in April I would like to visit their graves in Coleford.
How and where would I get a map of Coleford Cemetery?
I was hoping that Mary Porter would have had children from her first marriage in coleford.
Thanks for your help.

William and Mary lived together for many years before they married

Sorry even with this crucial extra info - there do not appear to be any PORTER, SHOTT or MOORE children that "feel " as if they fit ... { of course there may but at the moment they are not leaping off the page }

Children of William SHOTT and Mary Ann PORTER

Carolyates — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 10:22:33 +0000

William Shott married Mary Ann Porter a widow. Looking for children of this relationship. Were there any children to Mary Porter and her first husband. Mary's father was John Moore. William Shott was my great grandfather, he is buried in Coleford Cemetery. Where could I get a map of the coleford Cemetery? Hoping someone could help me.
