Cry for help with the Wakelin name from Sheffield.

Hi
I got your address from Sheffield indexes and hope you can help.
I am looking for any information on members of my family who I believe have passed away but I can't find any confirmation.
The names are Arthur Victor, Vera, Brian,Violet and George Wakelin.
George was the father to Arthur and Brian
I know that Arthur,Vera,and George lived at 41 Highgate Sheffield and Brian and Violet lived in Firth Park but don't know where buried or cremated.

Many thanks
Steve Wakelin.


Re: Cry for help with the Wakelin name from Sheffield.

Hello Steve,

Firth Park residents would probably be in Shiregreen Cemetery or City Rd Cemetery.

Our burial records are up to 1991 ish.

You would have to contact City Rd Bereavement Services for a grave search after that year.

From FMP i have 2 Georges died in 1966 & 1971.
Vera 2001

That's all i can find, you don't give any dates.

Regards

Terry

Wakein Family

Hi Pete
Sorry to be a pain but where on the site did you get the address from
As you can tell I'm new to this.


Re: Cry for help with the Wakelin name from Sheffield.

The addresses were from Directories, but I knew some of the Wakelins.
