Mary Greenwood burial Haworth

[dave the tyke]

Hi,
Does anyone have access to burial records for Haworth - probably St Michael's. I'm wanting to know who, if anyone, was buried in the same plot as Mary Greenwood. She was buried 21 Jul 1867. Unable to make the trip myself just now.

Thanks
Dave

Cant help with others in the grave, but I can confirm it was St Michaels and she was 69.

Thanks Groom,
I think she is in Plot E317 but I would like to know if other members of the family are buried in the same grave. That could confirm that I have the right Mary before sending for the death certificate.

There are about 74 Greenwoods buried in St Michaels ten years either side of 1867. There is another Mary buried there on 8th Sept 1869 aged 79. Obviously a local name.

According to most sources the Greenwood family seat is a few miles distant from Haworth, in Heptonstall,  'Where the rain falls horizontally and the locals can trace their ancestors back to stones'

Thanks

There is a contact mailing address for enquires: http://www.haworthchurch.co.uk/contact-2/
Speed of return message depends if death/burial register has a list of occupants in grave though.
(Some records just give date of death/burial as a list)
Here in Calverley volunteers are having to transcribe who is buried together in a grave.

Hi again Dave, you may have this already but here is the inscription for Mary Greenwood:

IN MEMORY OF JOHN GREENWOOD of Bradford who died Novr 27th 1849 in 50th Year of his Age
Also of Mary relict of the above named John Greenwood, who died July 18th 1867 aged 67 Years
ALSO of Jonas Greenwood Son of the above John and Mary Greenwood, who died October 13th 1868 in the 33rd year of his age.
Mary Greenwood Owner

Please check the dates and ages to the burial register as these records do contain some errors.

Hope it is of use.
