Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Burials - South Parade Wesleyan, Halifax

I have Greenwood / Nowell family and my x3 Great grandma Sarah Newel ( Nowell) nee Greenwood was buried at South Parade Chapel until the railways bought the land to further expand goods yards etc,  then the graves & occupants were removed and move to Stoney Royd Cemetery, Siddal, i believe.
Sarah Greenwood born 1816, married Thomas Newel in 1838. Sarah Died in 1862. Son William Nowell. Try query at Stoney Royd as they may have the whereabouts of the removed graves. Good luck.

Excellent, regarding map....thank you. I managed to get in touch with the Hebden Bridge group as was searching my x5 great grandad and they believe ( from looking on census) that he probably lived at the inn once known as the Huntsman ( now private house) ....almost aside White Lee Clough but probably back in 1828 very little residence in the area...so many folk would have used White Lee Clough as an address as were known by name rather than residence?! This gentleman was George Pickles, mother was Ann ( father unknown) , Ann's parents & grand parents before her now found too. so am very happy. I had a wander round the area about a year back....beautiful place as is Midgeley if i remember rightly.
I will save the map if ok by you. Thanks again.
