Hi Jill,
Do you have Stainfirth in 1911 ? That might indicate where the workhouse was.
North Bierley covers a large area and I think there were several 'North Bierley' poorhouses. Some of them used burial grounds in churchyards that were in the vicinity eg. Clayton Union Workhouse (later Northern View Hospital) burials were in a communal plot at Clayton Parish Church until 1906 after that the poorhouse inmates were buried in a communal plot in Scholemoor cemetery.
The photographed cemetery ledgers at Bradford library are not easy to negotiate and you will need the exact date of death to get the best from them, they are not searchable by name and not all the cemeteries in North Bierley are on the computer. There is only one computer dedicated to the cemeteries disc and viewing times are limited so pre-book your appointment.
good luck
Dave

I've just had a quick look at 1911. Stainfirth is living in Windhill Shipley (North Bierley enumeration district). It looks like there are 2 Coultas families living in that area.

Thanks for this information Dave, I think it will be very useful for us. I agree about the information for Scholemore, I found my Grandmother, but knew her date of death, it eould have been too time ocnsuming to find otherwise. We only have Jun quarter 1912 for Stainfirth's death and haven't been able to find a date so far.
Good advice to make an appointment, thank you, I'll do that when I come over to England in Dec/Jan.
regards,
Jill

Jill,
be aware that Windhill Shipley is on the opposite side of town to the area commonly known as North Bierley. It is an anomaly of the 1911 census that misplaces it.
Cemeteries used by residents of Shipley would not have been the same as those used by people from N. Bierley unless it was a family plot.
It depends on how valuable this information is but you could send £7 for the death cert to find exactly where Stainfirth was living at his time of death or you could get the 1911 census details for £3.50 to find where he was at that time and who was with him then use the voting registers in the library to find if he was still at the same address in 1912.

Hi Dave,
In the 1911 census Stainforth was living in 21 WILLIAM HENRY STREET SALTAIRE SHIPLEY, with his second wife, step daughter and 2 sons.
His brother James shows up as in an institution at Clayton near Bradford, which is a possibility for Stainforth I suppose, but quite far away from Saltaire.
It seems that the Bradford library don't have the records, but as you've pointed out you have to know the exact death date to find any burial at Scholemoor which would be the closest cemetery and we can't find a death listing for him. The name is common so the death certificate should be easy to locate, but harder from here in Australia.

Nabb Wood cemetery would be favourite for Saltaire

William Henry street is still there, part of the Titus Salts village and next to the railway station. You should be able to pick it up on Google maps birds eye view. It is off Victoria Road.
