Bowling/Scholemoor Cemetery Bradford

[abbey2]

Is anyone able to look at the registers at Scholemoor Cemetery?

I am looking for a brother I have just discovered I had.  My mother died last month and following her death I discovered I had a brother who sadly died aged 1 week old.  He was called Kenneth Peter BOND born 17 Nov 1954 at 12 Mornington Villas, Bradford.  He sadly died on 28 Nov 1954 at the Children's Hospital, Bradford. 

I have been able to get the birth and death certificates, but don't know if or where he may be buried.  I am guessing that he was either cremated at Scholemoor Cemetery or buried at Bowling Cemetery as that was where they lived at the time.  Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob.
I found a couple of my rellies buried in Scholemoor cemetery a couple of years ago. I phoned the cemetery lodge on Necropolis Rd. and the staff were great. I gave them a name, year of death and they came back mto me with burial details, grave number and the details of other rellies in the same grave.

Their phone number is  01274 571313.  Give 'em a ring. I'm sure they'll help.

I followed David's advice and they were very helpful at Scholemoor.  They looked in the registers and rang me back with the result.  Kenneth Peter Bond was cremated on 1 December 1954 and the ashes were'scattered to the wind' as they put it in the register which meant that they were scattered in the grounds of the crematorium.  So I now know the full details and can at last put my brother in the family tree.

Thanks for your help.
