Re: Walter Bennett 1902 to 1986 Footballer

Hi John,

Ref the burial, the heading on the form says "Burial in the Parish of Tinsley in the Diocese of Sheffield.." and it says the ceremony was performed by C.W. Tabor. If it helps you to identify which cemetery in Tinsley, it's Sheffield Archives reference PR-144-4-6

Re: Walter Bennett 1902 to 1986 Footballer

Hi Guys,

On a current map of Sheffield there is only one Cemetery listed for Tinsley and that's the Tinsley Park one I gave the address for.

I can't see one on Bawtry Road.... that John suggested.

I think John must mean St. Lawrence churchyard, which is just off Bawtry Road, on Church Lane.

Re: Walter Bennett 1902 to 1986 Footballer

Hi Sally,

That nudged me to look at St Lawrence. From the S&DFHS Booklet on Churches in the Sheffield area.

A Chapelry of Tinsley in the Parish of Rotherham.and became a separate parish in 1718. Burials from 1813-1967.and they were transcribed by S&DFHS from 1813-1901.
Probably for the NBI.

Hi Heather, Sally & John,

I have the material for us to transcribe at a later date for St Lawrence and C.W. Tabor is a minister there.

Re: Walter Bennett 1902 to 1986 Footballer

Think the best bet might be for Andrew to contact St Lawrence Church, explain to them what he is doing and he knows his father is buried in the churchyard so would they see if Walter is there too.

Re: Walter Bennett 1902 to 1986 Footballer

The some records for Tinsley Parish are on FMP covering 1915 to 1966 inclusive.
As well as Henry Jeremiah (1954), his wife Mary Bennett is also buried there on Aug 30 1935 Age 63. Her home address was "Hillcrest", Hellaby, nr Maltby, Yorkshire.

Re: Walter Bennett 1902 to 1986 Footballer

Hi everyone
Thank you all for all your help, I've been at work the last couple of days but have been following the thread. I'll make contact with St Lawrence tomorrow.
I'll let you know how I get on.

kind regards
Andrew
