Good Evening

For starters, you have a burial date - 26 August 1880 (I think the burial register says 25 August 1880  :-\) and the venue is St Michael and All Angels, Thornhill.  So I assume you are really looking to see whether there is a headstone  :)

The church itself should have the burial register, and therefore know the location of the grave, and Wakefield Family History Society may or may not have transcribed the MIs.

Added:  it looks like the MIs have been transcribed - £2.50 from Wakefield FHS.

Thank you, I am wondering if there is a Headstone, so far I have not been able to find any when it comes to the surname of Swift.

Fingers crossed

Put it this way - you can only ask the question  ;D ;D  There's always a first time!

I have a lot of relatives married and buried in this graveyard.
They do have a family history site, and the vicar is very helpful
