This youtube video in link below will show you the headstones that were put to the side of the church of St John's church Bowling Bradford

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5osu4GIdFoc

(After 5 seconds of advert click skip bottom right in video to bring the St John video to start)

In the video it states the grave headstones were as I said above were put to the side of the church and the body remains in the graves were interred (Reburied) in Bowing council cemetery 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summing up

Bradford local studies library will have the Blackburn Epitaph memorial inscriptions ('Blackburn' was a male clever tramp who went around Bradford churchyards over many decades collecting gravestone memorial epitaphs ) of St John's  church and West Yorkshire archives will have the St John's parish register burials and maybe graveyard burial register records

Hope this info helps any researcher of ancestry of St John's church bowling Bradford  :)

Although the church at Bowling is still there, the graveyard was cleared out late 70's.
The whole area was cleared for the 'inner ring road ' Rooley Lane.
Correction from later post, graveyard was Bierley.
Scholemoor - Main council burial records office for Bradford would be able to provide the burial records.

Thank you so much for this. I heard some where many years ago from family that St. John's graveyard was cleared out, but I couldn't think now who to ask. I've found that "John Booth" a relative was buried in the 'Parish of S John Bowling' January 1890. Do you know what happened to the graveyard that was cleared out in the 1970s and where they would be now?

The grave register 1880 to 1896 for St John Bowling Bradford held in West Yorkshire Archives Bradford ground floor shared with Bradford Local studies library

Some definitions found on the net


Senectus

Old age, senility -  ([defined] ~ to be worn out by old age: senectute, senio confectum esse · to live to a very great age: ad summam senectutem pervenire · old age creeps on )...


Dilatation of heart

(Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition in which the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, is enlarged (dilated). As the chamber gets bigger, its thick muscular wall stretches, becoming thinner and weaker. This affects the heart's ability to pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.)

Fractured thigh

(Hard for old people to recover from- low recovery rate) 

***********************************

Early death certifictes post 1837  (say 3 decades) defined it mostly as aging natural decay (Body organ functions were winding down - aging is the time-related deterioration of the physiological functions necessary for survival )

Hi Nich

What I posted this info for was the records of births in Hull and baptisms in Huddersfield ?, lot of genealogy is elimination by proving a marriage to a person or 2 different people with same name in the same time period one married and one single - Location of the ancestors abodes helps proving true identities

I found LDS IGI Familysearch  is often is a good accurate website (Though they have LDS trees as well but not as many)  and not full of gap filling assumptions of imagination - also in old records and parish registers in centuries past more so - also  ancestry website trees and other stuff.

Assume nothing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ check all.  ;)
