Burial records

Well so far we have the name of his sister and possibly my grandparents too now which is more than I had this time last week and the library sent pictures of snippets from the newspapers I'm just waiting on the coroner report but I'm not sure that'll be any help. I'm going to try the Salvation Army next I reckon and just keep looking for his sister. You've all been a massive help ☺️

I now have a grave number but for confidentiality reasons the lady on the phone at new wortley crematorium can not give the name of whom he has been intered with, he was intered in 2002. Any ideas how I could find out who? Really wishing I was local right now! So frustrating

So is your dad in Cottingley Hall cemetery then?

My wife is wanting me to take her shopping nearby, could spare an hour or so to have a look!

No, he was cremated in 1994 and his ashes were intered into another grave in new wortley cemetery plot number 10416 in 2002. I asked the woman if it was either of my grandparents names and she said no but obviously couldn't tell me who.

[Jemmajane]

That's really kind of you to offer though 😊

As long as I know which location!

He has a headstone! Thank you so much for all of your help. I really appreciate the effort 😊
My husband has been doing some searching too, I'm pretty confident that I might get somewhere this time.

Hi,
Brian contacted me last night and asked me to check my map of New Wortley Cemetery so he could locate the grave when he takes his wife out shopping this morning. I have given Brian the location of the grave and will give him a copy of the map this morning.

No doubt he will take his camera and photograph the grave for you.

Regards,

Ian

You are all fantastic!! Thank yous all ever so much. The picture on Yorkshire indexers seems he has his own headstone and everything so I can't understand why it doesn't come up on find a grave or why the woman at cottingley crematatorium told me he'd been interred with someone else?! Honestly this finding relatives business is extremely frustrating and consuming!
