Thank you Pennines.

I appreciate your reply.

I am looking for the monumental inscription for 4 children that were buried in the Halifax Parish Churchyard according to parish burial records. Searching the Family History film for monumental inscriptions for St. John the Baptist Church I could not find them.  I did find their parents' monumental inscription using the Family History film for St. James Churchyard.  The parents were buried in 1843 & 1864, so quite awhile afterwards. 
Ann Hemingway died Jan 7, 1819 age 2 years
James Hemingway died June 16, 1819 listed as an infant (age 7 months)
Eli Hemingway died Feb 8, 1824 age 1.5 years
Thomas Hemingway died Sept 2, 1828 listed as an infant.  I cannot find his baptism record.
Is there anywhere else that I can look?  Is there an index of MI's for Halifax Parish Church?
Thank you,
Nancy

KGarrad, are the Wesleyan Church on Haigh Lane and the Methodist Church on Giles St not different churches?

Thank you KGarrad and BumbleB for your replies.
KGarrad, what street is the church on? Is it the church on Haigh Lane and St. Mary's Rd?
BumbleB, I have sent emails to the places you have suggested. I have never seen the side by side map before.  A great idea.
If the Non-Conformists didn't have records of their burials until 1830, would they bury them somewhere else?
Our ancestors did not make it easy to find them.

Good morning,  I hope you can help me or point me in the correct direction to answer some questions that I have.
My ancestors attended the Wesleyan Church in Netherthong Yorkshire between 1817 and 1827.  At least 4 of their children were baptised in the church according to baptism entries for the church.  They lived in Deanhouse and their last name was Schofield.
One or two of the children died young.  I have not been able to find any burial or death records for them or that church. The only death records are after 1830 for the All Saints Church (C of E).
My questions are, would the Wesleyan Church have kept these records and how could I access them remotely?  I live in Canada. I have reached out to the Wesleyan Church in area and they messaged me that they have passed on my enquiry to other sources, but nothing has come back yet.
Also, is there is a cemetery at the church and if there is are there any records of the tombstones and would the stones still exist?  If they weren't buried on church land, where would they be buried? I appreciate any help you can give me.  Whether you can answer these questions, or advise me who might be able to help me. Kindest regards.

Fife / Scoonie cemetery
« on: Sunday 29 May 16 02:21 BST (UK)  »
About 5 years ago someone graciously took a picture and sent me the inscription of a headstone at the Scoonie cemetery for William Armitt tenant Bankhead and his 5 children.  Their stone is #19 at the far end in the old section.  My husband and I were there a few weeks ago, but could not find the stone.  We went three times and each time it was so windy, the snow came down sideways.  We have since returned to Canada.
Is it possible for someone to go there again and reconfirm that the stone is no longer standing?  I can email a plan of the cemetery and it's location.  If they could take a picture of the stone in it's current condition and the surrounding area so that I can reconfirm that either we missed it or it is in fact is no longer standing.  We were able to find other Armit family stones around it ie #21.  It's one of those nagging unfinished type feelings to an otherwise great trip.
I would be very grateful for this help.

Hi,
I have searched my records for Elland (around and before 1740's) and I did not find a baptism for Edward.  I did see his marriage to Elizabeth Southwart which states that they were both from the parish.
I have ordered a film for Elland for that time period so I will add Edward to the list of names I am searching for.  During that time they only listed the father's name in the baptism records, so I ordered the Bishop Transcripts since they sometimes have more information entered about the family, not just the bare minimum.
I don't expect the film to be here for another month, at least, because I just ordered it last weekend.
I will be in touch either way.
Nancy
