Re: Confusion re burial entries

Hi Roger again,

I think I have found the reason for the confusion re Burngreave Cemetery.

There is a CONSECRATED Side and the GENERAL Side both having the same numbering.

STEVENSON, James H (Grinder, age 72).
Died at Royal Hosp; Buried on November 17, 1941 in *General ground;*
Grave Number 92, Section V1 of Burngreave Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: . Remarks: Officiating Minister: J W Hutchinson: Removed from Sheffield Parish.

WARDLE, Robert (Roller, age 57).
Died at 46 Pickering Road; Buried on August 6, 1878 in *Consecrated ground;*
Grave Number 92, Section V1 of Burngreave Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: . Remarks: .

It's up to you if you want to contact Christine or not.

Elaine.

Morning Roger,

I have not checked out what we have in our database as yet but I would suggest that you contact "Friends of Burngreave" who can check out who is in the grave for you.

They are the people who transcribed the cemetery.

Christine is the contact person.

Look over at Burial records and you will see her email address.

Good evening Elaine and Terry and thanks for your replies

Re: Confusion re burial entries

Good afternoon !

A lesson learned.
The grave reference I gave for Burngreave Cemetery applies to 2 sections, General and Consecrated.
My grandparents are in one section and the 2 Wardle individuals who at first I thought were buried alongside them, are in another section.

Worth making a note for those of you with an interest in Burngreave Cemetery

Now if I had been smart, I would first have had a look at a map of that cemetery and seen that the same grave reference appeared in both sections !
