Finding grave in Stannington?

I am trying to find where my grandparents were buried in Sheffield. Elsie Gell think she died around 1936 and Bertie Gell died 1960. They lived at 171 Stannington Road, Stannington. This is the missing link in building my family history back to 1600. An help advice greatly received.

Hi

Elsie Gell died in 1954 not 1936. She is buried at Christ Church,Stannington.

From FMP

First name(s) Elsie
Last name Gell
Age 57
Birth year 1897
Death year 1954
Death date 17 Oct 1954
Burial year 1954
Burial date 21 Oct 1954
Burial place Sheffield, Christ Church, Stannington
Address- 171 Stannington Road

Bertie does die in 1960 but I can't find a burial record for him, but hopefully they are buried together. On the burial page for Elsie, the minister has written the number 360 at the side of the entry. No idea what that means but could indicate a plot number.

Hope this helps
Sue

Sue, FMP burials at Christ Church Stannington only go up to 1959 inclusive.

Edit. 360 is the grave number. In that same grave is Joseph Willian Gell died 1939 age 82
Presumably Berties father.
