This is a fifteen walk from my home - and a very scenic walk too - so something I often do of a Sunday afternoon   So if anyone wants me to look out for a relative's grave I should be happy to do so.

This is an incredible resource. I've found three of my GG Grandparents in the Old Cemetry at Castleford. The fact that it includes grave numbers is a huge bonus. As I'm only a few miles away I'm going to pop over and see what condition the graves are in. Well done WMDC (that's one thing at least!).

I contacted Kirklees Council, Bereavement Services re Heckmondwike and Batley cemeteries and the searches they did for me were free of charge. They gave an excellent service. However, this was in 2004, so things may have changed! Their telephone number then was 01484 234060.

Title: Re: Barnsley burials website
Post by: earsmom on Wednesday 27 January 10 03:36 GMT (UK)
http://www.cemeteries.org.uk

I also found the same website in the last couple of days.

Can I make a suggestion that may save a wee bit of money??.........Especially if you think you may have hordes of buried relatives in the Barnsley are cemeteries!!

After you have bought your tokens, look near the top of the page & click on Search Burials (it's between Home & Forum).

Then click on 'Cemetery'........pick the "all Barnsley Cemeteries" option.

Type in the "surname" you are looking for, but don't type in "First name".

I found that I got  4 pages of results with approx 10-12 hits on each page.

I would suggest that you carefully check each hit on the first page in the order that they are listed.  Then move onto page 2, check those hits. Move to page 3 & check etc etc.

As soon as you move from one page to another, your tokens are reduced.

So for the price of one token you could get many names and different Barnsley cemeteries.

So much more cost effective that putting in a specific name, surname & cemetery for each person that you may be looking for!!

I'm sure that we all like to save a penny or two in these credit crunch times!!

Oh another thought....perhaps if anyone has any tokens left.........and they think they won't use them up themselves,  they could offer to do some searches for other people wishing to discover if their forbears are in the Barnsley Cemeteries!!

You know what they say....."What goes around, comes around!!"
:D

Happy discovering to you all!!

Hope this is the correct place to put this.

 I have home transcribed the burial register for Denholme Wesleyan.  (It's on Ancestry, but if your not a member you can't see it)

 I've transcribed the best I can, and have first name / Last name / age / burial date.

 I have also put it on a spreadsheet map too (this works as I found my ancestor) and it's not a large site.

 This is for the burial ground off the main road and Foster Park Road (where divine soaps is on Google maps)

 If you want me to check can you pm me as I don't always check the boards
