Holy Trinity Grave Yard

You don't have apologise on here, to anyone ! we all just muck in, sometimes we get stuff wrong or right - ? its up to the member asking for help to check info, advice, theories and ideas out to confirm.

There is a Quaker friends meeting building off George St, that may have had a small burial ground or maybe possible Trinity Church had a very small special burial area for deceased vicars or ministers, churchwardens or some  bigwigs of the church, as I have known that to happen before at other church's without official graveyards.

Holy Trinity Church in Wakefield did not have a graveyard - the burial ground located to the left of the church was the responsibility of the Quaker Meeting House. When Ancestry transcribed the burial registers for All Saints Church, (Wakefield Cathedral) they wrongly attributed the burials to Holy Trinity instead of the Cathedral - I informed Ancestry of their error which, should, by now, have been corrected.

Welcome to Rootschat,

According ancestry trees , ~  I died 2005 in a family tree, on contacting Ancestry by phone, I was told it was the responsibility of the tree owner, not theirs, and  I should contact the tree owner, I said its was stated on their website  ,  so ! I went on to ask if they supplied Ouija (wee-jee) boards for the member tree owner to contact a spirit to see if I was deceased or not and the lady put the phone down.  ~~~~

Moral is check independent resources not just Ancestry.

My husband, now in his 90s attended Holy Trinity School for boys which was adjoining the church on George St. Neither the school nor the church is still there but I have found a photo: http://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/site/image-detail?imageid=5888#.Yai0qSenwwA
