Hello everyone.
Please bare with me as I am a complete newcomer and this is my very first posting.
I have been trying to find where my G.Grandmother Candace Ross (nee Bennett) is buried. Candace was born 12.05.1875, baptised 10.01.1877 at St James' CofE Church, married 03.08.1895 at St Josephs Catholic Church and died 28.01.1943. All were in the Little Horton area.
I have been in touch with Scholemoor Cemetery which covers all the cemeteries in the area and they have no record of her. I was told that as she adopted the Catholic faith when she married and all subsequent children were baptised Catholic, there was a chance she was buried in a churchyard. The only Catholic churches I know of in the area at that time were St Josephs and St Annes. St Annes has since been demolished (I think) and neither had a churchyard anyway.
I have been to Bradford Central Library, they suggested getting in touch with the Diocese of Leeds, they in turn suggested St Josephs Church who suggested Scholemoor Cemetery...........Full circle completed!
Apparantly Catholic burials were not officially registered untill as late as the 1970's!
I tried coming from the angle of her husband John William Ross, but drew a blank there also.
As Candace only died in 1943 she must be somewhere surely.
Is there please anyone who can suggest the next step to take as I am very close to giving up?
