Ellen Owen ELSTON's Grave

On the Toxteth Park Cemetery website there is a grave, number 117, with the following three people:

Ellen Owen ELSTON (HS) 43y Wife 25.12.1859
Henry ELSTON (HS) 64y Publican 5 Church Lane
Margaret ELSTON (HS) 59y Widow 5 Church Lane

Can anyone tell me what '(HS)' stands for? They are the only three people in all the ELSTONs listed to have this included.

Thank you!

From the site,


Photographs of Headstones in the Consecrated section. If the letters (HS) are next to an individuals name within the main Consecrated indexes, this designates there is a photograph of that persons headstone. These are in alphabetical order and in some cases sub divided again for ease of access.

Hi Leigh

HS means there is a photograph of the Headstone.
Lucky you :D

Scroll down the main page of the Toxteth Park website and you will find some information about Headstones

Thanks Bertieone & Erika, I have just been on the website and seen the headstone.

However even more exciting is the fact that on searching though various other headstones I came across another one belonging to a different branch of my family, BATTARBEE Q837. This detailed six members!



Thanks once again!
