Tracing a grave in Harehills, Leeds

[Lisa Ainsworth]

Hi Guys,
This is my first post on here (or any forum if I'm honest) but I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall! My Mum passed away and was cremated, but her last wish was to have some of her ashes on both her parents graves! we found my Grandads but cannot find my Nans (even though both my uncles were at her funeral they have been no help) I know she is buried in Harehills Cemetery in Leeds, and her name is either Jean or Jeanie Gibb, I THINK she died in 93'.... Is there ANY way i can find her? I have been on their web page but it was no help really!
Thanking you in advance for any help
A VERY stressed....

As Leeds City Council Bereavement Services hold the burial records for Harehills Cemetery in Leeds you could ask them to search that year [a fee is payable]. If you are sure that she was not buried with her husband it may be that the Burial Rights had not been renewed [passed to her as part of the estate?] and if that was the case she may have been buried in a separate unmarked grave termed a Common Grave.

Welcome to RootsChat 

Are we talking about Jeanie Anderson Gibb?  If so then there is a death registration in Leeds Registration District in August 1993.  The entry says that she was born 19 October 1929 and was aged 63 at death.

Or, are we talking about Jean Bell Gibb?  If so then there is a death registration in Leeds Registration District in April 1991.  The entry says that she was born 20 February 1903 and was aged 88 at death.

Hope this helps

There also appears to records of MI's at Leeds Central Library see http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ENG-YKS-LEEDS/2004-12/1104479396
On the other hand if it was a Common Grave there will not be a marker or headstone.

Why not ask the same question over at Yorkshire Indexers?

Hi...I'm very interested in locating my grandparents graves in Harehills cemetery Leeds too, no idea how to go about it. Can someone tell me who to contact so that I might visit these graves please? Total and utter novice here.

Thank you

My grandma was Letitia Hobson and my grandfather was Percy (Percival?) Hobson...I know Percy died in the 50's but no idea when Letitia died.

Thank you
