I was just wondering....
I have found various entries of relatives from the Eldersfield Parish Records on GENUKI.
I am trying to find the location of the graves. Would that mean that there WOULD be a grave for them? I've found a webstite where a kind lady has photographed graves of St John the baptist church in Eldersfield but there is no grave for any of them.
Any suggesstions?
Help much appreciated.
Erika :-)

It might be that they're buried there but no one ever put any kind of stone up for them - I've come across a lot like that, people who are recorded in the burial records but there isn't a stone.

Could even be that there was a stone but it has weathered and broken or even collapsed and had to be moved.
