Something like this info any good?

[Burial records on a CD]

 That would be excellent if I knew where my family are.  I think some are in Scholemoor, but the rest I don't know.  I have a feeling some might be in Bowling,  I just don't know.

 I did purchase the Lincoln Cemetery burials, but that covered all the city burials and was really useful.

 From looking at this, the Scholemoor one (the one I'd probably go for initially, only has the inscriptions and not the complete list of burials.  I'm not sure my family would have a memorial stone, but at least with the cemetery burial register you can normally work out where they are.

I'm going to visit local history as they have a searchable database for cemeteries I'm told.


They have a scanned copy of the burial book for their cemeteries, unindexed, and arranged by day/time of burial.
There is also just the single machine upon which the images may be viewed. (2019 visit)

Thanks Pauline,

 That's different to what I was told, I think.  I no longer have the email, but I'll message them again.

 That might be a problem for me, for some people I only have a year?  when you went what was the numbers like for burials?

Are you travelling far then David?
There are plenty of graveyards within Bradford, both municipal/parish and non conformist.
You could make out a list of interested names to see if any are buried local.

Hi Brian,

About an hour or so, south of Sheffield, so I can do a couple of visits this year amongst other places to go.   I did Denholme and Oakworth a couple of year ago before the virus and a walk round Scholemoor just to get a general idea :)

I'm doing a list,  all those buried in the Bradford registration district.  I'm going to visit local history as they have a searchable database for cemeteries I'm told.

I know some are in the Zion ground, and a couple in Calveley, Chakesby? and Idle so i'll need to look in that one.

I'm hoping most will be in the cemeteries as they should have better information about where they are, the churches might be a bit more hit and miss.

Another post came in whilst I was typing this,  I'll definitely keep that list handy though.

I've just written to all 3 Tong Councillors asking them to help find out, who definitely owns the graveyard and help with access.

I'll wait for them to get back to me, and carry on working out other Bradford places to visit.

Calverley Lad if you know more about other churches etc in the area, I might pick your brains about access to others when I get the information down, although I think most are the cemeteries.

Well if someone fancies a hedge fight I'm happy to assist, not on my own on this. :o
Discounting 25th Aug when I will be assisting in a Baptist church clean up in Bramley, thankfully not a jungle!

Will bring my hedge cutter plus branch lopper, suitable footware and gloves.

I won't be available until September I think,. But I do know families in their.   So I definitely want to try and get in

Hi
I went to this Graveyard for David Robinson, I did manage a couple of photos but it was totally overgrown.     There is fencing all the way round and no Security Notice.
Behind Farmfoods is a Bingo Hall.

I did ask a lady that passed and she thought it was now owned by Bradford City Council !!

I have messaged Brian Yewdall as the Inscriptions for the Graves that remain have been transcribed by Yorkshire Burials (was Yorkshire Indexers) and Brian should be able to do a look-up for anyone who thinks they may have relatives in there.

Happy Hunting
Lynn

I think from you I contacted the council, then came lockdowns so I'll pick up the thread from their

I'm currently away at the moment, back next week.

My plan was to visit the local council for cemetery searches then call here and look around for access.  Maybe even a phone number on any security notices.

Of course if the local councillor can help that would make it easier

Going back of this old post regarding height of brambles, one of my recent purchases is a long handled battery hedge cutter.
[Recently used to cut down a neighbours bramble patch at ground level]
If anyone manages to get access by arrangement, I will come over to lend a hand to see what can be done.
Bare in mind my cutter only has a running time of one hour.
 Brian

Calverley Lad,

 It's still on my to do list, I've not pursued it much due to the lockdown, but will be back on it next week.   I will keep you in mind for it too if that's okay.

Alice Louisa Northway WALTERS....who did she marry?...when?...where?

What occupation for father?  Any residential addresses to see on the document?

What names for witnesses?. How old is Alice Louisa?

Reply 13 refers

Marriage year should be 1919 - not 1819 See reply 5.   

She married Clifford HH Law as Alice Louisa K Walters.  Wonder if the K should be N for Northway

   
11 Feb 1919 The Parish Church Clowne, Derbyshire

Alice Louisa Northway Walters age 18, single
Father:   Edward Richard Northway Walters, miner

Clifford Herbert Henry Law age 28, single, miner
Father Jesse Law, blacksmith

Both Res. 264 Cresswell Rd Clowne

Witnesses Edward R Northway Walters & Louie Thorpe


 Yes, this is the only place I can find him as Edward Richard Northway Walters.   On the Census he's Edward Walters, and the Bourne marriage reference he's Richard Northway.

In considering the previous bigamy comments, might he have been married previously, then changed his name? or maybe it's a different issue with the law. 

I haven't come across this before which confused me.
