Family History Beginners Board / Re: king cross graveyard in halifax
« on: Sunday 11 September 16 17:51 BST (UK)  »
Hello Lynda,
Yes the grave is fairly easy to access, down and one over  the steep steps, in the Jungle part of the graveyard.
I presume you have searched for the grave yourself, not an easy task is it? :)  :)
Luckily I have a finding aid very close to your grave.
If you PM me I will contact you by Email.
You need to post 2 more reply's to be able to PM someone, so just post here with something twice more.

Hi all,
Am on it,
the grave will be 243 C
The year is about right for that area of the graveyard.
PM me your email and I will go tomorrow and see if there is a marker.
This area is good for Gravestones, nearly every grave has one.
All the best,
Andy...

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Kings Cross Wesleyan Chapel Halifax graveyard plans
« on: Sunday 29 March 15 11:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jasmi,
Sorry for being so late in replying to your question.
The graveyard has maps of a sort, the graveyard is set out in sections, some have plenty of information including grave plot numbers and landmarks.
The plot G19 is in the oldest part of the graveyard and I have found the location.
it is easy to find, although I have not walked to the spot to look for a marker.
ON my map of the graveyard the name is Brear does this ring a bell for you?
Regards,
Andy
If you send me a PM I will send you my email address.

Hi all,
I have found the grave site for Sarah, sadly there is no marker stone, although I have sent her pictures of the site and area.

« on: Sunday 05 October 14 15:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello Ovenden Priestley.
The chapel graveyard was removed in 1905 for road widening.
All internments were re buried in Stony Royd cemetery in Halifax.
I have not come across any records of the old internments but Calderdale Bereavement services could be able to help you.
Park Wood Crematorium is the repository of al the Calderdale grave books and other information.

Telephone number is: 01422 372293.
Also there is a small piece on the chapel in he link below.

Hello Lizzie L and Iginio,
I have some background info on the school but sadly I need to scan them at work as they are A3.
I also have info on what I got the last time I went to the Catholic Archives in Leeds to show what you might get if you ordered the info.
 I will dig it out, but may have to re scan it as its not here on my new computer
I will try and attach the article from the Leeds Mercury.
If you PM me your email Ignio I will send them all by email.
Keep getting an error, the file is too large to post on the site.
All for now,
Andy

Hello Igninio,
I have had access to al the records of the school.
They are held in Leeds Catholic archives.
http://www.dioceseofleeds.org.uk/archives/collections/priests_parishes_schools.php

I have been to the archives to research for someone and it was straight forward.
I made an appointment with Mr Finnigan, and he  had the records I was interested ready to view on my arrival.
I arranged everything by email.
The Archives are located at;
Leeds Diocesan Archives
Hinsley Hall
62 Headingley Lane
Leeds
LS6 2BX
Regards,
 Andy
