Edmund Wear

[sandyjose]

Edmund Wear was my great x2 grandad.He died in 1876 in Huddersfield.I would like to know where he was buried,as far as I can see he wasn't buried in Huddersfield so could it possibly in Birstall where he was born?Any ideas?

Hi

If he was in Huddersfield at the date given all the church graveyards were full so he would more then like have been buried at Edgerton Cemetery, Huddersfield.

Birstall had its own big cemetery opposite the church St Peter's and also St Paul's church at Birkenshaw has a massive churchyard. (Most Likely->) Christchurch church & Liversedge Spenborough Cemetery

also Birstall could use Cottingley Hall Gildersome Cemetery (Leeds) or Morley Cemetery

Kirklees & Leeds councils cemeteries depts (Google them )( about £30 to £50 for a search of their records -could cost more if your are from another country as postage)

I'm still looking for Edmund's grave,I know where he "isn't".He isn't in Birstall or Edgerton.He died at the end of August and there was an obituary in the Yorkshire Post but no burial details.He died at Beaumont St but his wife,Eliza and 2 sons,Tom and John were living in Mirfield however I've been told he's not buried there.I can only think that hes buried in a church graveyard some where,but where?
  Any help ideas appreciated as I've been searching for a long time. Thanks

 Sorry I said the Yorkshire post but now I think it was a Huddersfield paper.

Hi

I have indexed Roberttown & Battyeford and he is not in them.
The other main possibilities would be Huddersfield Woodhouse Christ Church, Bradley Saint Thomas's or Deighton New Connexion but I cannot remember the dates for that it could be too early.

Have you checked if he is buried with his parents ?

Thank you for replying. I tried Woodhouse as that's where his 2 sons,John and Tom,were baptized but he isn't there.His father,Timothy,is buried in Rochdale.He went there after his wife,Hanna,died.He remarried but he died a year later. I don't know where Hannah,nee Booth,is buried,that might be worth finding.I have a note about Hannah,she died in 1839,it says Bradford but don't know if that's correct.
