My husband’s great grandmother Sophia Brackenbury (nee McClemance) was buried in the church graveyard on 18th December 1918. Are there any plans of the plots or memorial inscriptions for the church graveyard.
Thanks

Thank you very much for this Lois.
I originally looked in Tinsley park for her grave then someone told me that the burial record shows Tinsley parish church (St Lawrence). I went and looked last year but couldn't find it. Someone was tidying the whole graveyard. Then I read that they were documented the gravestones. So I was wondering if the documenting had finished and if anyone knew where I could find the information.
Thank you all for your help. I will try the archives when they open. Sophia is an elusive ancestor. I only have her marriage certificate, 1881, 1901 and 1911 census, plus death information and children’s names. I have tried on here before and even the who do you think you are magazine experts couldn’t find her before her marriage. She is my brick wall 🤪
From the census returns where was Sophia born and the maiden name McClemance was that from the marriage cert and does it tally with childrens births? I presume she was a spinster when she married.
