My great grandmother died on the 2 nd November 1883. Her name was Sarah Ann Bullement.
I have tried without success to find where she was buried.
She died in Sheffield.
She lived at 18 Percy Street Sheffield.

Re: Buried ( where)

Mary,

Just in case you hadn't seen it already, the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph of Saturday 26 January 1884 has an article called “A Local Friendly Society’s Case” which mentions Sarah Ann.

William Bullement, labourer, 18 Percy Street, brought a court case against the London and Provincial Sick, Benefit, and Life Assurance Society for £6 they owed him after the death of his wife, Sarah Ann Bullement.

The article implied that Sarah Ann had died on the 22 November of the preceding year, that must have been a typo.

William Bullement had signed up with some local society which had been taken over by the London-based society. The Londoners then refused to pay up on some weaselly technicality. They’d been to court over it a couple of times already, on this occasion the magistrate ordered them to cough up the £6 plus an extra 10 bob for costs.

Cheers,

Andrew P.

There are a total of 7 burials in that grave. None appear related suggesting that this was a common grave and would have no headstone.
