I've just written to all 3 Tong Councillors asking them to help find out, who definitely owns the graveyard and help with access.

I'll wait for them to get back to me, and carry on working out other Bradford places to visit.

Calverley Lad if you know more about other churches etc in the area, I might pick your brains about access to others when I get the information down, although I think most are the cemeteries.

lynn is the person to send a personal message to regarding visiting graveyards, as she has been and photographed many of the graves.
The website yorkshire burials is a good source of transcribed information.

Calverley website good for local transcribed bmd records also.

Are you travelling far then David?
There are plenty of graveyards within Bradford, both municipal/parish and non conformist.
You could make out a list of interested names to see if any are buried local.

Hi Brian,

About an hour or so, south of Sheffield, so I can do a couple of visits this year amongst other places to go.   I did Denholme and Oakworth a couple of year ago before the virus and a walk round Scholemoor just to get a general idea

I'm doing a list,  all those buried in the Bradford registration district.  I'm going to visit local history as they have a searchable database for cemeteries I'm told.

I know some are in the Zion ground, and a couple in Calveley, Chakesby? and Idle so i'll need to look in that one.

I'm hoping most will be in the cemeteries as they should have better information about where they are, the churches might be a bit more hit and miss.

Another post came in whilst I was typing this,  I'll definitely keep that list handy though.

Just in case anyone gets the wrong idea, this doesn't appear to be a full transcription of all memorials. I could only find five listed here for Undercliffe, out of hundreds or even thousands!

(I don't know and haven't investigated what the coverage is like for any of the others in Brian's list.)

I'm going to visit local history as they have a searchable database for cemeteries I'm told.

They have a scanned copy of the burial book for their cemeteries, unindexed, and arranged by day/time of burial.
There is also just the single machine upon which the images may be viewed. (2019 visit)

Thanks Pauline,

 That's different to what I was told, I think.  I no longer have the email, but I'll message them again.

 That might be a problem for me, for some people I only have a year?  when you went what was the numbers like for burials?
