St Mary's on Tong Road, Wortley
« on: Friday 28 July 06 03:13 BST (UK) »
Hi there

I'm trying to find some information about burials for services held at St Mary's (of Bethany) on Tong Road, Wortley.  I know the church itself was demolished back around the 1970's but my mum seems to remember that the cemetery part was either further up the road or over on the other side!

Would anybody know if this cemetery is still there and what it's called? Better still, if there is plot plan (?) available anywhere? I know some very generous, dedicated genealogists have done plans of some church graveyards but wouldn't know where to go about looking for one.

I'm going over to the UK for 3 weeks in September and hope to get up to the cemetery if it's still there to have a look around but mum remembers it as being very large - although she was only a child at the time and size is relevant aye!

Any info would be greatly appreciated - especially the name of it  :D

Many thanks

Debbie
