Harehills Cemetery and Beckett Street Cemetery

[Melchizadeck]

Morning All
Trying to establish if a John Henry Bell who died in 1921 is really interred in a Guinea Grave.
Been in touch with Friends of Beckett Street cemetery in Leeds but there is no record of him even though family anecdotes for decades said that he was in that cemetery.
So is it possible that he is in Harehills Cemetery, Leeds ?  But do they have Guinea Graves

One other possibility that strikes me is that John Henry Bell had a son who died age 9 in 1897....now he for certain is in Beckett Street Cemetery......perhaps he is the one in the Guinea Grave and the family stories have been confused ?
Thanks for any help.

Ancestry has the record of burials in Beckett Street cemetery and they usual give an address for the person as well, I no longer have access otherwise I would check for you.

The 1897 burial at Beckett Street - 7 March 1897 - James, son of John Bell, 45 Argyle Place - aged 9.
Grave number 11725, which, I'm assuming, is a children's grave from the ages shown.

Not that this helps with burial of your John Henry Bell and you probably already have this information

For info....daughter Florence’s baptism on 18 May 1898 has address 35 Argyle Place

Was his wife named Laura? If so, it looks as if she died 1936 and is buried at Harehills Cemetery, Plot Q, 364 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/226721626/laura-bell

Rose Bell married 18 Oct 1919 father John Henry Bell, Boot & shoe maker
her address 5 Azalea Street, one witness Blanche Bell.

Blanche Bell married 24 Sept 1921 father John Henry Bell, Boot maker
her address 5 Azalea Street

The 1921 census was taken on 19 June 1921, if you use the advanced free search
 
surname BELL
address 5 Azalea Street

these four people appear to be living at that address

Laura 1869  b Portsmouth
Blanche 1891 b Cardiff
Foster 1898 b Leeds
Catherine 1902 b Leeds

I wonder if Foster has been mis-transcribed and should actually be Florence 

Was that the same address on John's 1921 death certificate?
