There are people I don't know buried in one of our family graves

Sorry, just to clarify, what does MMN mean?

Mother's Maiden Name - can be seen in the GRO online birth index and from 1911 onwards (I think) at FreeBMD.

I've been trying to find a Sarah Ann Robinson in the 1901 census, and the strongest possibilities seem to be these two:

837 Barkerend Road (RG13/4151 fo124 p11) - Sarah A Robinson as wife, but no husband present; also an unmarried daughter Alice M Storey, age 25. GRO index suggests Alice's mother's maiden name was Redsdale. FreeBMD has the marriage of Sarah Ann Storey to Harry Robinson in 1885.

27 Violet Court - in the Bowling area (RG13/4145 fo15 p21) - Sarah Ann wife of Lewis K Robinson; possible marriage in the Halifax district in 1875 of Lewis Robinson and Sarah Ann Jubb (from FreeBMD).

Do any of those extra surnames ring a bell? (But do check these for yourself, and there might be other possibilities that I've missed.)

Thanks Arthur, themselves are good finds. I'll have a look at them. There is nothing obvious there, but the Violet Court one is in Bowling which seems the more likely connection.

I hope we can find the connection as I'd like the family to put up a headstone as there either there was none or it has been lost under the grass.

Thanks!

if you get to look at the Bowling registers themselves , they should have an address for the deceased. In several instances an infant will also have a named mother and father.

That might be difficult as I'm not nearby, but I might be able to get the death info and address from the GRO.

When you consulted Bradford Council did they tell you IF the rights to burial were purchased and, if so, when and by whom?
Did they say if there is a headstone on the plot? (which indicates the rights of burial were purchased)

Just searching the GRO for:
Sarah Robinson
Death 19.05.1905, age 55 years
Bradford

I'm getting nothing, which is strange.

Fred comes up though:
HEPWORTH, FRED       0 
GRO Reference: 1908  D Quarter in BRADFORD  Volume 09B  Page 25

[JackYorkshire]

Okay, here is Fred. I can't quite make out the address. 20-2 Mill Street? Son of William and Lily Hepworth. Now off to find out who they were (again no obvious connection).

That looks to me like "Quill" street, it's certainly the way I was taught to write a capital Q.  And a search reveals there IS a Quill Street in said city.
