Barnsley 1903 were would they be buried?
« on: Sunday 16 July 06 07:08 UTC (UK) »
Hi

I have obtained a death certificate which states that ANN PAPE, widow of William Pape died 29 6. 1903 in the Union Workhouse Barnsley, however the certificate does not record where Ann was buried.

I have checked the National Burial Index and had no luck.

Would anybody have an idea of how I can find out were Ann was buried

Thanks

Cass

It is also possible that if she was from out of Barnsley she could have been returned to that place for burial.  Contact Bansley Library and ask to be put through to the local history section and then ask if the Works=house used a specific church for burials.  The fact is by 1903 it is likely that they were using a municipal burial ground.  Why was she in the workhouse?  Was it ill health or due to being poor?  If the latter then the liklihood is she will be in a municipal cemtery and in an unmarked public grave with up to 20 others.  ( known as paupers graves although this isn't pc)
