My great Grandparants are buries in Sheffield General Cemetery John Burtles grave 4181 and his wife Grave 4172. I know the memorial stones have been cleared but is there a map showing where the positions were in the cemetery? As a young boy my father took me to his grand mothers grave but that was a long time ago. Regards John Hague

Hi John,

All the maps we have are to be found over to the left under burial records.

If you look to the top pf the page you will see where it says Maps & photos.

The General Cemetery is there. but its only a section map. For the actual plot map you would have to contact the General Cemetery.

I find it strange that John Burtles is not coming up on our index.

Hi John,

I have looked for John Burtles/Birtles and can not find him.

If you wouldn't mind when you find his information out can you let me know please. I have our transcription and the NBI and he is not on either. Very strange.
