Grave locations for Kings Cross Wesleyan Chapel graveyard, Halifax
« on: Friday 24 May 13 23:07 BST (UK) »
Hello, does anyone know if there are grave location maps available for this graveyard?

I have just found the burial records for my GGG Grandfather (Joseph GARTH) and GGG Grandmother (Harriet GARTH nee MANKS). However, I believe the cemetery at Kings Cross (the Wesleyan Chapel) is very large. I have a plot / grave reference of X9 but no idea where that may be.
My aunt is interested in joining me (she still lives near Halifax) but she won't be able to walk for hours around the whole site.
Hopefully I've posted the question in the right board.
Many thanks in advance for any help!

Do a search of this site Mark. There was a discussion last year on King Cross Wesleyan / Methodist churchyard that resulted in some people getting positive results on locations.

Hi Mark

You got the best man! as Kings cross is a dangerous place in some parts at the best of times, being on a hill side with holes, over growth trees with stringy/thorny bramble vines and needs some who knows it.

I have recently found relatives buried in this graveyard (grave 234 in section probably "C" but possibly "6") from Ancestry. Mary Ann Bake (my g grandmother) is there with Fred her son and her husband William's 2nd wife Hannah. I am wondering if this will also help me solve the mystery of when William died. We can find no record of this anywhere. I know he died after 1946 because I have a photo of him at my sister's christening. I would very much like to locate the grave to see if there is a headstone with an MI and if so take a photograph. Can anyone help me locate the grave please? I visit occasionally. Many thanks.
