The Grave of Fatima Elizabeth Cates (Francess Elizabeth Murray).
Ustadh Hamid Mahmood accompanied by Mufti Hilal went to search for the grave of 'the first lady ever converted to Islam in England' and alhamdulillah after a search in the Liverpool Central Library archives we were able to confirm the resting place of Fatima Elizabeth Cates (may Allah have Mercy on her) - Graveyard: Anfield, Gen: 5 - 418.
Fatima Elizabeth (RA) was first introduced to Islam by Shaykh Abdullah Quilliam.
