Hi Wayne,

We (Sheffield Indexers) have transcribed City Road Burials and they are in our Database. We have completed 1881 to 1966.

Charlotte does not show there.

I have I believe all the CDs from Sheffield & District Family History Society and not many of those go to the year 1942. I have checked those and she is not showing there either.

John is listed on the 1911 census as a Traction Engine Driver and they were in Asbourne in Derbyshire. It doesn't look as if this marriage had any children. Though they do have a nephew living with them in 1911. He was a Spalding and I think a nephew of Charlottes as he was born in Branston the same place where Charlotte was from.

Maybe the death cert would indicate where she was living that might help.

Regards.

Thanks again Elaine. As far as I know Charlotte was living at 54 cottam road high green when she died. Should I ring the city road office or do they have the same records as you
Thanks for all your help

Morning,

What we have transcribed is what City Road have..but.....it might be helpful to look at different spellings in our database. That you can do yourself.

PS. I have just looked at my 1968 Street Directory and there is NO Cottam Road but there is a Cottam Street which is just off Penistone Road. I have just checked on a current map and there is indeed a Cottam Rd at High Green. Does that indicate its a new street?

I think that the reason we are not turning her up is she is probably buried in a churchyard i.e. Ecclesfield or Chapeltown etc. As I mentioned before when S&DFHS completed their project for the NBI (Churchyards) they did not go as far as 1942.

Hope this helps.

Cause of death included senility. Would there be a nearby hospital that she may have been in that posssibly bury all their deceased patients in a cemetery near that hospital? I found this with another reative. I will search the database now

Hi again,

Yes Middlewood Hospital they used Wadsley Parish Church. We have a map under our burials top of page with the area marked out. There again we run into the date problem.

Wadsley Church, Sheffield - 1848, 1906, 1909 to 1910

Those dates look odd...... Can you check with S&DFHS and see if their transcription covers more.

It does say cottam street as Charlotte's address where she was living. I assumed it meant cottam road as I know high green and know there is no cottam street so thought it was a error. As for the register I searched for all Charlotte's 1300 of them but only 3 starting with v and they were Vernon so not her. 63 Vesseys but not her so I will send for the death certificate and see from there.
Thanks for all your help
