An Edwin Ward, aged 43, labourer of Bradford Road was buried in the consecrated section of Edgerton Cemetery on 2 August 1876.

I cannot find an Edwin Ward living in Huddersfield, nor is there a death recorded of an Edwin Ward in Huddersfield in 1876.

Edmund Wear died on 30 July 1876 so this could possibly be his burial?

Summing up! Edwin Ward

As Sandra has already said, there is no evidence of a death of Edwin Ward age 43 death in the late July or 1st or 2nd of August 1876 living on Bradford road Huddersfield in either the GRO of Local register office death Qtr index. No Newspaper death notice record Per August 1876 Huddersfield at Bradford road. For a Edwin Ward either.

Edmund Wear (Weare or Ware)

I called at the Huddersfield local studies Library yesterday and looked at the 1875 to 1876 Electoral Burgess register book page 92, in this book the names and addresses of inhabitant residents ar in name district order with each residents address given after the name.

There is Edmund Weare 1 Beaumont street corner house with Bradford road, Fartown Huddersfield 1876

There is No Edwin Ward living in Bradford Road Fartown Huddersfield in the North Ward 1876

Its up to the reader to either accept or decline this evidence presented that the burial of Edwin Ward burial 2nd August name was a mistake for Edmund Wear(e) death 30 July 1876 Edgerton Cemetery Huddersfield record in the local newspaper and death certificate owned by Rootschat member Sandyjose the OP of this thread

If Sandyjose contacts Huddersfield Bereavement Services again they should have further details of the burials in the grave which just may have a different name for Edwin Ward.

The grave is in the consecrated Section 20, grave 153

Sandyjose has not been active on Rootschat since September 2020      -  so it many be a waste of time researching further with this Sandra

I think located in Huddersfield (Kirklees MC) local studies library have copies of all  Edgerton cemetery burials

Hi Sandra

First there are two dates for Edmund's death posted by Sandyjose- one on Rootschat 30 July 1876
and same poster I think on another website 30 August 1876

Sandyjose has a lot of threads on the net -my source of Edmund's info

Having said that a lot your info fits

His age born 1833-died 1876 = aged 43

1861 census says he lived Bradford road in Far-town district

1871 census say he lived in York street (York street use to be adjacent Fitzwilliam street next to Union street just off Bradford road)

He died on Beaumont street on his death certificate 1876 but Beaumont street in them years 1870's run off Bradford road under the viaduct by the old bus depot

Also the fact you can't find Edwin's death 1876

Certainly needs a look at

 St John's churchyard  was needed to make way for a new ring-road around Bradford city in the 1970's
- there has been questions from none local or distant ancestry researches as to where the grave body remains were re interred and headstones put
