Continue on the Cockshutt Road which is Norfolk County Road # 5. Continue on through Boston and be on the lookout for a road sign indicating Concession Road # 13, turn left and head east on Concession Road # 13, You will come to the junction of Concession Road # 13 and the Villa Nova Road. Mount Hope - Tyrell cemetery is situated on the northwest corner of that intersection.

This cemetery is inactive and has been for many years. The stones have all been moved to a central location in the cemetery and placed in a concrete slab. It is maintained by the County of Norfolk.

I walked this cemetery in September, 2006, reading and recording the inscription from each tombstone that could be read, in order to complete the transcription process.

    What makes us Different?

    Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

    Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
