Would someone be able to advise me on how to find out where my great grandparents are buried. They both died in Bramley, West Yorkshire and I think it likely they were buried in either St. Peter's Leeds or St. Peter's Bramley, but as I am in Australia it is a long way to go to find out. Any advice would be appreciated. Please be aware that being in Australia means I cannot always answer straight away, I'm not being ignorant I really do appreciate any help. Susan

Hi Susan, I would think the best thing to do would be to ask if anyone lives in the areas you mention, then get them to ring the local archives or the bereavement care sevices,usually attached to the largest burial place in the area and they will look it up for you. Gill

Researching:
Proctor Audley & S-O-T, Forrester,Hanley, Shenton, Hanley, Moreton, Madeley. All in Staffordshire

Hi Susan, If you can let me have any details you have about them for example dates of death and if possible address when they died I will contact the local archives and try to find out. I'm not far from Bramley so I'll check it out for you. Everything is closed here now for the easter holiday so it will be Tuesday at the earliest before I can get back to you though. Is that ok? Caz
