Hi,
Is anyone able to tell me where Mary Oswald Sharp Downie Young was buried in Leeds please, and also whether any family are buried with her?
She died Quarter 1 1977.. aged 76yrs.
Thanks in advance
-
Are you sure she was buried - not cremated?
Her death was registered in Leeds RD - but what was her home address as the Leeds RD covered many areas

Oh dear....I'm afraid I don't know. I've only just found out she died in Leeds as she was born in Scotland. There were family nr Beckett St cemetery and Harehills cemetery at the time,but other than that I have no info...sorry
-
If it's too wide a search please don't worry...I will do a bit more research
-
Not sure whether they charge or not, but they probably do :o :o Although it would be better if you have her exact date of death, and her last known address in Leeds.

Brian you're a genius...thank you SOOOO much!!! Was there anyone with her do you know? Her husband was James and I have a vague recollection of names Hughie, Peter Robert or Jimmy. Only if you have time to look of course.
Many thanks again

Ok Brian,
Thanks very much for your help
-
Oh...I just found some more info on familysearch!!!
Mary's son was Hugh Sharp Downie Young died Jan 1987 and his son...by the same name died March 1998 both in same area I believe. Sorry to be a pain but is there a chance they are at Harehills too please?
Thanks in advance

Still no sign of Hugh, bare in mind these checks are for municipal burials so church funerals excluded.
