daughter of William and Harriet Ann Bredbury
The grave is on the steep slope which overlooks Luzley in the distance. It has been engulfed by the shrubbery on the right hand side of this ground. To find the grave one must locate the Broadbent grave (shown marked by an arrow in one of the photos) To the left of this grave is the Cooper grave. The Sykes grave lies to the left of this. There are some wooden planks marking the plot but both the Cooper and Sykes graves are within the encroaching wooded area.
