Lexi,

I know that this is not an answer to your original query and you might already have this information, but I thought I would post the details for your anyway.

Holbeck Cemetery, Leeds

Grave Number 11747
Grave Type Consecrated

11th September 1925 burial of Edward Wharfedale of 34 Highfield Street, Holbeck aged 53 years.  Occupation Clerk.

Edward is buried alongside a further six people all of who were buried in 1925 and appear to be unrelated.

If you think that this is the Edward Wharfedale who you are researching and you are prepared to send me your email address via personal message I can send you a photograph of his headstone.

Best Wishes

Cheryl,

I have found census records and a further marriage for Theophilus Hayes and also a burial record for Elizabeth Hayes.

St. Bartholmew (Armley)

27th February 1866 burial of Elizabeth Hayes of Armley aged 44 years.

By 1871 Theophilus as remarried and is living in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

Theophilus Hayes aged 41 Widower  Insurance Agent of New Wortley.  Father John Hayes, Potter

Interestingly on the image of the certificate for his marriage to Elizabeth, the fathers name column was left blank.

Julie,

You might want to take a look at the website www.yorkshireindexers.co.uk This is a website which has a subscription database containing burials for many of the municipal cemeteries in Leeds and also quite a number of churchyard burials also.

I think that they charge an annual subscription of approx £10/£12 but if you are searching for several burial records it might be worth considering.

Strangely also on the 1891 census is another Eliza Davies aged 3 years born 1888 Warrington, Lancashire also described as their daughter.
