« on: Tuesday 06 May 14 00:00 BST (UK)  »
I'm wondering if there is anyone who lives near Hunslet Cemetery in Leeds.I have a great uncle buried there and it would be great to have a photo of the grave.I have the number of the grave but first I thought it better to find out if there's anyone in the area.Please contact me if you can help,thanks Susan

Lanarkshire / Re: Rutherglen cemetery

I have just come across your questions about Rutherglen,the Old Cemetery has been indexed but I can't remember the site that has it on line,I'll look for it and get back to you.I know you can ask for a pic of the headstone.The book I think you are looking for about the history of East Kilbride and Rutherglen,is one I took out at Rutherglen library.It's written a long time ago and is heavy going!You don't say where you live as Rutherglen library has a heritage centre with maps and literature about old Rutherglen. Hope this is of some help to you.

Yes I think you're right,they are two different families as I don't have a Thomas or Robert amongst my relatives.Good luck in finding more on your family.

You don't give any dates or names of the Belshaws you are looking for,my great gran was Jane Belshaw,1846-1904,her siblings were John,Mary,Margaret and Hugh.Their mother was Fanny McRoberts.If you are connected to this family let me know.Jane's brother John had a large family,10 children,maybe you are related to one of them?I hope you get in touch.

Kent / Re: Masters Family of Trottiscliffe, Kent, England

 Your post about Masters in Kent was quite a while ago so maybe you have some more info by now.
  I have Masters  from Kent in my family,I haven't traced them as far back as yours so I don't know if there's a connection. My great x2 grandad was Henry Joseph Masters 1820-1886,he was born in Chatham.His father was John Henry,I don't have any dates for him but sure he came from Kent. Let me know if you think they could be related.

 Thanks for your post,yes I know about the library having Ancestry but at the moment I'm not well so I can't get out.I'll get my subscription sorted very soon,I feel lost without it!
  With so many villages around Halifax,it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!One good thing is that my geography of Yorkshire has improved.I'll keep searching,he's got to be somewhere.

I had a look at the Kirklees site and it is £30,which area does Birstall come under?Perhaps as he had connections to there and maybe family still living in that area they helped out when he died or as was mentioned,there was a family plot there.
 I will look up Edmund's siblings and see where they lived,I can't do a lot just now as my Ancestry subscription has run out but there are site some sites I can see until I renew it.There's also Halifax where he was born?
  My gran,Laura,Edmund's granddaughter would have been affronted to know about his getting on the wrong side of the law,she had a lot of good qualities but she was a terrible snob!

What a pity not able to see the full article.Slowly it seems there are a lot of places where he isn't buried,which leaves a few possibles.As I said before,I will get his death certificate,I think Kirklees want about £30 to do a search which I can't afford.
  Many thanks for all the help.

many thanks for the information you have all found.I didn't know Edmund's siblings,so it's interesting to see who they were.I have a second cousin whose grand dad was my gran's brother and we share any info,we both have trees on Ancestry.He has all Edmund's siblings on his tree,which gradually I'm putting on my tree.
  I recently found a record of Edmund being declared bankrupt in 1867,it seems he had a shop,at that time he was living in Few Town.My thoughts on that are,possibly,the shop was run by his wife as he was a cartier,I'm only guessing.
 I have the feeling he was a bit of a rogue! Stealing grape vines in Yorkshire !seems really strange,I'm not implying that he didn't do it,but even today I don't know of anyone having grapevines in Yorkshire.People grow them in the south,I wonder what he planned to do with them!
 It's interesting that he stole from a Bernard Shaw as Shaw was his wife's maiden name.
 I didn't know what Edmund's father,Timothy did because he died before the census started.Timothy was born in Birstal in 1789,he married Hannah Booth the 11th of July 1811,he died in1840 in Rochdale,what was he doing there? I think his wife Hanna died in 1860,I don't know where. Maybe Bradford?
 The theory that the family had a family plot is interesting,going back beyond Timothy,his father was John born1766 in Birstall.
 You have given me places to look,which I will do,I'm also going to get a copy of his death certificate to see where he was living when he died and what he died of.
  Agian many thanks for info,I will get back if I find anything of interest.
