Overleigh Cemetery Database
Overleigh Cemetery, Chester,
opened in 1850.
By 1854 many of the parish graveyards
in Chester were closed and Overleigh Cemetery was the only
municipal burial ground in the City until Blacon was opened in
1941. For details of parish burial registers see our main catalogues.
This database of the cemetery
registers is the work of volunteers on three continents. It covers
the years 1850-1950 and includes over 60,000 entries. The database
includes information on every person buried in the cemetery: name,
description, address, age, date of death and burial and grave
number.
You can search for an individual or
for everyone buried in a particular grave. There is also scope for
social history by looking at date ranges, ages at death or
addresses.
We would also appreciate it if you
could let us know if you have any comments via our Feedback
Form.
