(Bradford) Bowling cemetery plan
« on: Tuesday 09 July 13 09:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have discovered that I have a family grave at Bowling cemetery, it is in section r, grave number 204.

The cemetery is huge (is not particularly well signposted) and basically I want to try and find the grave but do not know where to start.

The council have been of no help and I am at a bit of of a loss as to what to do next.  Does anyone have a basic plan of the cemetery at all or can offer any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Dianer

Head over to the excellent Yorkshire Indexers!...

Also previous thread has a few hints on locating a grave at Bowling...

Thanks for your help on this.  I have just looked at the Yorkshire indexers and registered.  Found an image of the plan in gallery but was denied permission to access further.  Completerly at a loss now-thought I was getting somewhere.  I only want to know roughly whereabouts in the cemetery to start looking for the grave.
