Transcription error

Hello hope you are all well
I think there has been a transcription error

Bailey, Earby (Widow, age 51).
Died at Storth Hall Asylum, Huddersfield; Buried on August 21, 1915 in Consecrated ground;
Grave Number 16164, Section EE1 of City Road Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: ~. Remarks: .
Plot Owner: ~ ~ of ~. Page No 2509

plus 3 other family members listed in same grave

Earby's husband Bailey, Albert (Cutler, age 50).
Died at Royal Infirmary; Buried on March 2, 1912 in Consecrated ground;
Grave Number 16164, Section CC1 of City Road Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: ~. Remarks: .
Plot Owner: ~ ~ of ~. Page No 2240

This has the same Grave Number 16164, but the Section number is different I think the CC1 on Alberts record should read Section EE1 it seems too much of a coincidence for the grave record to be the same its such a long number Can you please check the original Parish record many thanks Angela

Hello Angela

I have checked the image for Alberts burial and it does read Section EE1. I am sure when Elaine reads this she will amend the record.

I have checked the plot and there is a memorial (now laid flat) bearing just the one set of initials E.B.

You are welcome to a copy of the photo if you would like one/
