Hi all, I had no idea when my g g grandma died (except between 1901 and 1928) and I couldn;t find a death reference, so I e-mailed Wakefield council, seeing if they could find a burial record for her, and they did, and as well as doing that they told me who else was in the grave with her, which gave me the info about her husband (also not found before) and now I have emailed them back asking if there is a grave stone.*********So, call the council, e-mail them if you want, but you won;t get anything if you don't ask!

Bob, yes I have, but they didn;t have the cemetery I wanted on there so I thought I'd email them.
