Some Nonconformist (NC) Burials not online are with Chapels their HQ, Land/Building owners, Record Offices, Universities and elsewhere.

Also in Yorkshire about 6 General Cemetery Company cemeteries, first starting about the 1830s.

Many C of E Churchyards were closed from circa 1850s, so Local Burial Boards (some later became Council Cemeteries ) also began in Great Britain.

Marriage Amended
Suggestion online the 1855 WEAR = SHAW Marriage was at a Registry Office and might suggest one or both were not C of E.

Edmund Wear died July 1876 in Beaumont Street, Hillhouse. Huddersfield. in 1870 St Andrew's Church was built 6 years before Edmund Wear's death 1876 on Leeds road and the end of St Andrew's road Hillhouse Huddersfield.

 Beaumont Street is less than a 1/4 mile from St Andrew's church but whether the church had a graveyard is hard to say  as there was enough room around the church for a small burial ground

Found a youtube video of ST Andrew's in link

On the time scale numbers at the bottom of screen reading 3.32/14.41 you see what maybe flatstones through the grass near the church entrance  with maybe  MI's epitaphs, in the grass by a fence

An Edwin Ward, aged 43, labourer of Bradford Road was buried in the consecrated section of Edgerton Cemetery on 2 August 1876.

I cannot find an Edwin Ward living in Huddersfield, nor is there a death recorded of an Edwin Ward in Huddersfield in 1876.

Edmund Wear died on 30 July 1876 so this could possibly be his burial?

Hi Sandra

First there are two dates for Edmund's death posted by Sandyjose- one on Rootschat 30 July 1876
and same poster I think on another website 30 August 1876

Sandyjose has a lot of threads on the net -my source of Edmund's info

Having said that a lot your info fits

His age born 1833-died 1876 = aged 43

1861 census says he lived Bradford road in Far-town district

1871 census say he lived in York street (York street use to be adjacent Fitzwilliam street next to Union street just off Bradford road)

He died on Beaumont street on his death certificate 1876 but Beaumont street in them years 1870's run off Bradford road under the viaduct by the old bus depot

Also the fact you can't find Edwin's death 1876

Certainly needs a look at

Unfortunately if Edmund's burial was recorded incorrectly there will be no proof that this is him.

Edmund's death was announced in the Huddersfield Examiner on 5 August 1876 giving his death as 30th ult., ie 30 July.

The Huddersfield Examiner of 22 Aug 1872 has a report of the prosecution of Edmund Ware, labourer, Bradford Road, in the employ of Messrs. Bentley and Shaw, brewers, of Lockwood.

Edwin Ward is buried in a common grave so there will not be a headstone.

If Sandyjose contacts Huddersfield Bereavement Services again they should have further details of the burials in the grave which just may have a different name for Edwin Ward.

The grave is in the consecrated Section 20, grave 153

There is another possibility - the address on the death certificate is place at time of death & and not always the deceased home address and apart from a hospital address. Beaumont Street - the address of a person at the death of Edmund could be a son or daughter or anyone caring for - was at the death  of Edmund.

My brother died before I was born age 7 (Fell in a canal lock 1947 ) and his death is not in the GRO index but was in the local register office records - so Edwin' death record maybe the same

 So there is no way to prove the name was wrong at burial as you say -hard to prove but a record on here for ancestry researchers of the future -so still worth a posting the possibility Sandra
