Brighouse Cemetery *COMPLETED*
« on: Tuesday 11 May 10 08:35 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know where I could find a map of the graves in Brighouse cemetery?  I suspect that Calderdale Reference Library or the Archives at Halifax Central Library would have one, but I wondered whether Calderdale FHS have published one.

Modified later Tuesday:  I should perhaps be more specific and say that I am trying to find the grave of Mrs Susan Sunderland [1819-1905] who is buried there in Grave D Con 89.

Thanks in advance

John:

Thanks for the response.  Not sure why it would be Bradford, unless you know something I don't

Just relooked on Google and the Brighouse Cemetery is in Calderdale.
I have some relatives buried in Exley Lane Elland and the records and books are at the office at Elland cremitorium.

Thanks for the map, Andy.  That helps a great deal.

I found and photographed the grave of Mrs Sunderland and family.  Brighouse Cemetery is kept fairly tidy
