Hi all.

I am trying to find the Graves of a Jonathan Bower born 1848 Bradfield, Death jun Quarter 1930 Wortley District. And his wife Margaret Bower nee Askey born Beauchief 1858, died Jun Quarter 1896 Wortley Distict. I wonder if they could be buried Loxley. I am trying to find them for an Australian distant Cousin who is visiting England next week. Any hep much appreciated

Hi Gary,

Yes they are buried at Loxley Congrgational Churchyard.

The grave reference is CWS E 29 for Jonathan living in Oughtibridge (1932) aged 82.
Margaret Grave CWS C 65 living at Stannington. (1896) aged 39.

There are a total of 19 Bowers buried there.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gary,

Same grave as her husband.

We have a map. Recently made by DaveT.

Look at Burial Records and then the top of the page you will note it says Maps etc.
Loxley has a map.
