Title: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: Simma on Friday 20 January 06 15:41 GMT (UK)
Hi,

I wonder if anyone has anyone knowledge of Barnsley Cemetery and its history.

I have noticed on a lot of old photographs that there were two chapels located inside the cemetery, roughly where a set of 'ruins' currently stand. I had always assumed that these ruins were fake - a piece of the landscaping by the designers. I know the chapels were there in 1910 as I have seen a photograph of the funeral of the children killed in the Public Hall disaster and they can be seen in the background.

Can anyone tell me the fate of these buildings? Are the 'ruins' (or part of them) the actual remains of the chapels?

Also, does anybody know if there is a 'Friends of Barnsley Cemetery' group or similar? I was quite dismayed to see that one of the buildings attached to the front wall was in a very poor state of repair with most of the back roof missing. Also, while the cemetery itself is in good order, many of the older graves are in a poor state too, possibly due to vandalism that hasn't been put right.

Any responses are appreciated!

as far as i know the "ruins" as you call them are whats left of the two chapels. the building attached to the front wall is cemetery lodge and it is going to be put for auction.

Just a quick update the buildings at the gate of the cemetery have been refurbished and turned into three flats one of which was advertised in the Barnsley chronical a few weeks ago ( they do look much better ) No doubt someone will enjoy living there,

Hi

Just to let people know there is now a friends group for Barnsley Cemetery, we are having our first open day this Sunday 17th August, 10.30 - 3.30.

We will be having guided walks of the war graves one at 11am and one at 2.30 these are by ticket only available on the day.

We will have a database available which covers from 1861 when the cemetery opened until 1960. We also have a large number of MI's which at present can only be searched by plot number.

The lodge house is now fully occupied and looks very nice they have been done to a extremely high standard and are beautiful inside. The roof of the roundhouse will hopefully be repaired by the end of the year.
The group will be leasing from the council the roundhouse and the workmans hut to use as a base for further activities.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions. For now please use my hotmail e mail  *

The buildings of the cemetery were as follows.
The range of buildings near to the gate were the Cemetery Keepers house now converted into flats, what we call the roundhouse which was the mortuary chapel, the workmans hut which is a modern edition.  The whole range was covered in and at present their purposes were unknown.

As you walk through the main gate you were faced with a chapel on either side to your left was the non conformists (methodists, catholics etc commonly called the unconsecrated section due to it not being blessed by a church of england vicar)chapel and to the right the C of E chapel the archways in the middle were built as such and have not changed. Unfortunately the chaples were just about demolished with only small bits of them remaining these too were under threat but after opposition from out group this plan thankfully has been dropped although I have no doubt it will reappear at some point as they will be very expensive to maintain and repair.  I hopefully have attached a couple of pictures so you can see what I mean.

Post by: GillianNixon on Wednesday 13 August 08 00:51 BST (UK)
Wow that seemed to work ok hope they aren't too big.

Just to add that although there is some vandalism a lot of the damage is caused by subsidence which in an area like ours is inevitable. 

We are currently working on the monumental inscriptions which as you can imagine is quite a daunting task but we are progressing well.
Due to the hard work of Pete Shields from the Dearne Friends Group we now have a database of all the war graves and all the mining related deaths.

Our next projects will working on a DVD and book about the Public Hall Disaster in which 16 children were killed in order to raise funds to repair some of their stones,  and making some sort of memorial/remembrance to the men and boys who were killed in the 2 Oaks Colliery Disasters the second of which killed 326 males making it the second largest disaster in the United Kingdom

Thanks for looking Carolanne, Charles age 3 looks promising.

All three children were baptised at Dodworth but not buried there.

The family seem to have moved from there to Worsbrough then to Barnsley, not sure how far Worsbrough is from Barnsley.

Do you know if there is any way I can find whether the grave for Edward & Mary Armitage section E 371 had a headstone ?

Thanks again

Thanks for the rapid response.

1. Could you let me have the details of the two HAYCROFTs - I'm guessing the James might be a.k.a. John James b. 1884, d. 1884, but can't guess who the woman might be.  Are there still gravestones, or are the plots now levelled?

2. Would you have any idea where recovered victims of the Oaks pit might be buried?  In C1861 James's address was Chapeltown, Wortley, but I don't know where he would have been in 1866.

Sorry I couldn't get back sooner everywhere i clicked was offline for some strange reason.
James Haycroft buried 18 april 1914 age 4 mths lived at 18 John Edward St plot i 104
Sarah Haycroft buried 6 July 1869 age 40 lived at Acklam Row, New St plot L 559.
I've know idea about the condition of the graves. Theres every possibility that he was buried in his local churchyard in Chapletown. Was he married and if so is his wife still in the area in 1871.

Thanks for that.

I  think the Sarah bur. 6 Jul 1869 was almost certainly James's wife!  She doesn't appear to be in the 1871 Census, but 2 children who were in the 1861 Census, plus 3 others born between 1862 and 1867 (the last a girl born some months after James's death), are there, scattered around in various places.

Sorry to impose - can I come back to you with some other names in due course?

Post by: carolanne on Wednesday 05 November 08 20:50 GMT (UK)
No problem, anytime.
I'm not sure if this is correct but I've just remembered that there is a big plot in Barnsley Cemetery where they are a lot of burials to do with a mining disaster but which one I can't remember. A friend of mine told me that there was once a memorial stone made out of coal  which is or was in Barnsley town hall.
The best place to ask I would think is the main office for the burials in Barnsley Cemetery which is at the crem at Ardsley.

Hello

Could I ask for a little help? My husbands grandma has just died and we are looking for her twin sister who we think died shortly after birth. We know the family were from Barnsley and that they weren't a well off family - Would Barnsley Cemetery be the most likely place for her to have been buried? Could someone look for her in the records or tell me how I could access them? The twin's name was May Carter and we think she was born/died in 1932. We are also looking for her mother (but we don't have a first name for her) who died about 2 or 3 years later (I guess they may be together).

Thank you

I can see a May Carter 2 months old buried 27 aug 1932 lived at 12 Copper Street Barnsley plot b 107. Can't see a family member with her but I was told by my gran years ago it was known that young babies were put in any grave that was open at the time so maybe if the family were poor thats what happened.
I'll see if I can find out about her mother

Ancestry is playing up at the moment but I've managed to find the birth for May,
May Carter july 1/4 1932 9c 349 Barnsley mother's maiden name Roberts.
When Ancestry is working I'll see if I can find the Marrige for her parents then I'll look for the mothers death.

Ancestry is still not working as it should but I have found away around it but its taking four times as long, can you tell me if there were any older siblings 
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: ToniBorgia on Sunday 09 November 08 19:15 GMT (UK)
hi       Carolanne

thanks for quick response.  The grave for May sounds as if it is the one we are looking for as she was born on the 5th of June which would make her 2 months old.  We know of birthdays an names of 3 older sisters but there were about 8 other siblings.  The eldest i have found is Doris born (or rather was registered) in the december quarter of 1919.  I have tried to find a marriage but have been unable to find one between an Albert Carter and anyone with maiden name Roberts registered in Barnley.

If youcan leave it with me for awhile I'll keep looking but I had to walk away from the comp as Ancestry was doing my head in.Its been playing up now for a week I've a good mind to ask them for a refund.

Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: carolanne on Sunday 09 November 08 21:57 GMT (UK)
Did they marry ???
Ancestry will only let me look at partial indexes so I've looked for a marriage around 1919 between a Albert Carter and ? Roberts with no luck anywhere in England. I've searched Free BMB for a marriage with no luck I have found all 8 children born / registered in Barnsley from 1919 to 1932.
I'll have another look in my burial records and see if she named any of her daughters after herself other than that you will have to send for one of the childrens birth certificates  to get her full name.

Title: Barnsley Cemetery, Grave of my Grandparents
Post by: zak14 on Thursday 05 February 09 12:18 GMT (UK)
Hello,

New to the site and I am trying to find the grave of my grandparents who lived at Heelis Street and High Stone Vale in Barnsley. Their names were George William Roydes and Sophia Roydes, can any of you kind people help me?, do not think their are many with the name spelt with the "e" in it as we do. My Dad died recently at 90 years of age and he moved to Birmingham in 1935. I would love to visit the grave of my Grandparents , but I never met my Grandad and my Grandmother died when I was very small and I do not know where they are buried.

John


Thanks

I think I've found your Grandad  but spelt without the e
George William Royds age 70 lived at 26 Highstone Vale buried 12 December 1949 plot number 13 623.
I can't see Sophia in either spelling have you any idea on the year she died as my info only goes upto 1960

Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: zak14 on Thursday 05 February 09 17:18 GMT (UK)
Hi Carolanne,

Thanks for your help it is appreciated. It is my Grandad you have found, they did live at 26 Highstone Vale, I went there to see Nan with my Dad and Mom when I was about 4 or 5. I was born in December 1959 and remember Nan dying a year or do after I visited her so I guess it was about 1966 or so and after your records. 

I went back to see 26 Highstone Vale in December of last year but at the time had no idea where my Grandparents were burried, but I do now thanks to you and will go back and visit the grave. Do you live in the area Carolanne ?

Many Thanks


John

I live in Dodworth which is 2 mile from Barnsley town center. I'll have a look in  Ancestry see if I can find your Grans death. I would imagine they are buried together.
I have a plan of the sections of Barnsley Cemetery so you can see where the section is but not the number of the grave to find exactley where the grave is you will have to contact the crem at Ardsley they will do you a section plan with the grave marked.If you want to PM me with your addy I'll send you the copy of the cemetery.

He was from Dodworth, but my dad seems to think he went to the burial in the main cemetery in Barnsley.  He died 7th November 1950. Im also trying to find his wife Esther who died 1961 not sure of the date, just that it was in Q1, I would imagine they would be together.

Thanks Carolanne, I will try getting in touch with him.

My gran lived in Dodworth until the early 1990s and I spent a lot of time with her, she lived on Hawthorne Crescent. When I was there I used to play with a girl who lived a couple of doors down who was also a Carr  and now I think probably a distant rellie!  I need to start branching out from my direct line with the Carrs and have a look at all the siblings.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there, I am new to this chat so please excuse my clumsiness.

I am desperately seeking info on Barnsley Cemetery records. I was helped a great deal by the Friends an a visit last year.

Thank you so much. That is all very helpful.
I remain puzzled as to the whereabouts of the remains of my grandmother Alice Maude Durham.
I was present at her interment supposedly with her mother, Sarah Jane Durham, nee Clarke later Harrison.
Sarah Jane died in 1929 and my grandmother Alice Maude in July 1966. When I visited in September last year and spoke to a member of the Friends who had the records with her there was no record of my grandmother that related to where she is supposed to be. If you were able to shed any light on this it would be wonderful. Mary

I've found Sarah Jane but she is listed Jane Sarah

I can only do a name search not grave search as it would take forever. I'll have another look around for Alice Maud. The only explanation I can come up with if she was cremated are her ashes at the crem in Ardsley

hi Carolanne, thanks for the Carr info. Im awaiting confirmation of the date of death of James, I don't have the cert, but a relative does who is going to scan it for me so I can check. Once I have that I will get in touch with the church in Dodworth regarding the cemetery.  Thanks for your help with these, can I ask if you could check a few more Carrs in Barnsley for me please, again the dates have been passed to me, but not got the scans of the certs yet.

William Carr   d - 23rd November 1903
Mary ann Carr  d - 2nd Jan  1890
Joseph Carr   d - 12th April  1912
Ann Carr       d -  1st February 1907

Carolanne,

I'm hoping you won't think I have a colossal cheek if I ask you to look up something for me in Barnsley Cemetery Registers?  I am trying to help a relatively new family historian and have come across a death in the GRO indexes which may or may not be the one we are looking for so it would be nice to try and verify it before sending for the death cert.  His name was William Turner.  He died between April and June 1879 aged 11 years. If he is the "right" one his parents will be Joseph and Harriet.

Thank you for any help you feel able to give with this one.  The family are proving to be very elusive - particularly Joseph Turner, the father.

Best wishes,

It doesn't give you the parents names but the address might help you.
William Turner age 11, No 3 Court, 1 Silver Street, burial 26/4/1879 plot Q 141 Uncon

Have you any idea when Joseph might have died ? I'll have a snoop around

Hiya Prim
Could this be Harriet
Harriet Turner age 66, 80 Gawber Road, burial 29/8/1924 plot b/ no entry Con.
I think the no entry means she was buried in a public grave.
The death date works out that Harriet was born circa 1858.

Hi Carolanne,

Thank you for your help. Pity that the burial entry for William didn't give parents' names.  The address is different from the one where William Henry was born but they could have moved in the few months between the death of one child and the birth of the other. Harriet was living (or perhaps visiting) in Silver Street in 1881.

Harriet would have been older than the one you found buried in 1924.  I have three census returns for her and they indicate a birth date of around 1847 at Barnetby-le-Wold in Lincolnshire. In 1901 she is aged 54 a housekeeper at Wombswell, Barnsley and her son William Hy aged 21 is with her. Harriet is married in 1881 but a widow in 1891 so presumably Joseph died sometime in that decade. It could be that in 1881 Harriet was newly widowed but the wrong status was put down for her by mistake - she is in her father's household with her two children George and William Hy then aged 1. Unfortunately Joseph doesn't appear on any of the census returns.

I will pass on what you have found.  Once again thank you very much for your help.

Best wishes,

Hi Carolanne
thankyou for replying so quickly. I am not sure if this is the right person. The Joseph Jones in my family was an underground manager at the mine. Maybe I've got the year wrong, I have found him in 1871 and he disappears in 1881. I cant read the address on the 1871 census. I have found his wife Harriet in 1881 and she is listed as a widow. Many thanks again

I can't read it either and I live 2 mile away from Barnsley but the street could have been knocked down years ago what I can tell you on that same page the next address down is Castlereagh Street and Pitt St is within spitting dinstance and the other burial was from Castlereagh St.

Hello,

I'd be very grateful if someone can do a Barnsley Cemetery look-up please.  My Great grandfather's brother William Fisher lived in Barnsley I understand he died in 1911 aged 69, he was a wood turner by trade.  His first wife Sarah, died in 1891.  His second wife was called Jane I have found a possible GRO death ref. for her 1929 aged 83 years but don't know if this is the right one or not. I believe Jane was a widow when she married William so it is possible that she is buried with her first husband; his surname was Jackson. 

Best wishes,

Janeada

Hiya Janeada
William Fisher age 69,19 Doncaster Road,burial 5/8/1911 plot M 965
Sarah Fisher age 48,56 Waltham Street,burial 12/7/1891 plot M 965

Jane Fisher age 83, 40 Sheffield Road,burial 31/5/1929 plot G 1042
Mary Gill Jackson age 41,19 Doncaster Road,burial 9/12/1909 G 1042

I've followed the Jackson family through the census and they must have been neighbours of the Fisher's in 1881 they lived in Waltham street Jane's husband was called Thomas there is a registration for a death in 1888 Jan 1/4 and also a burial but not in the same grave as Jane and her daughter.

Thomas Jackson age 45,Fever Hospital,burial 13/2/1888 plot R 302

Regards Carolanne
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: Janeada on Sunday 22 March 09 07:34 GMT (UK)
Hiya Carolanne,

Thanks ever so for the info on the Fisher burials - Jackson is an unexpected bonus.  I knew there was a Jackson daughter Mary G.; she is with her mother and William Fisher in 1891, The rest of the household is Fred Jackson and Thomas Fisher.  Thomas will be Thomas William, born 1884 and I was told he died in 1944, he married Emily Fletcher in 1908. 

Thomas Jackson must have died of Diphtheria or Scarlet Fever or something to have been in the Fever Hospital.  I've found the 1881 census you mentioned and note that most of the Jackson children were born in Darfield.  William Fisher had a brother, Samuel, who lived there so maybe the two families were well acquainted.

Once again thank you, you've been a great help.

Hi Carolanne,
 I've just found this thread. I am in Australia & have found my ggg grandmother, Ellen Quinn who died in Barnsley in 1873, however I cannot find a record of her husband Barney Quinn. The family first show up in England on the 1861 census & Ellen is a widow.  I have no idea what year they arrived from Ireland & if Barney was with them.
I was wondering if maybe Ellen was buried with Barney. I have considered that maybe Barney or Bernard was his middle name, but at present have hit a brick wall.
Carolanne, I was hoping you could check the Barnsley Cemetery Burial Register, I would be very appreciative. :)
kind Regards,

This is definitely the correct one as she was a widow living with her son George at Winn Street in Silkstone aged 75 in the 1861 census.
Her husband Joseph Hoyle died (I think) in 1855 but from what I understand from previous posts your records do not go back that far.

I've just been looking at the census and Winn Street is in Barnsley  it says in the Township of Silkstone . Winn Street I think used to be off Doncaster Road. When I'm next at the library I'll ask where they think people might be buried who were living in Winn Street which is in the parish of St John.

Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: Holmemoss on Friday 05 June 09 13:08 BST (UK)
Carolanne, you are right as the 1861 census says Silkstone, Township of Barnsley so I took this to be Silkstone as I don't know the area. Are you saying Winn Street is actually in Barnsley?
I have just checked on multimap and it seems as though Winn Street no longer exists.

Silkstone, although now a small village compared to Barnsley,

  was the main Parish. This of course is a mainly ecclesiastical

  matter and dates back to probably Anglo-Saxon times. When

  the Normans came, much  of the land was given to various

  Barons etc. as a reward. Although the Saxon lord at Silkstone

  retained a lot of his land ,presumably, as long as he paid homage and service

  to the Norman overlords. So the old records will refer to people being in the

  Parish of Silkstone which included Barnsley,Dodworth,Cumberworth,Cawthorne,

Hoyland Swaine, Stainborough, West Bretton and many other places.

  As a matter of interest, I saw recently that William the Conqueror kept 50%

  of Britain for himself, 25% he gave to the church and 25% he gave to his cronies.

   To get back to the original question, Winn st. would be in Barnsley and would

 therefore come under the Parish of Silkstone.

Hi
I'm new to this forum so excuse my green-ness  :-[ ;)

I visited Barnsley Cemetery today to have a walk around to see if I could find any of my ancestor's burial plots.

But, the cemetery is so huge that I only managed to find one gravestone for George William Acklam who died 18 Sep 1957 and was buried 21 Sep 1957 - plot number 15 12 Con

I am particularly interested in finding the plots for Arthur Acklam and Adelaide Acklam (nee Beaumont) (Husband and Wife)
Arthur died 9 Feb 1945 and Adelaide died 20 Feb 1987

But, if a general search for any other burials of other Acklam family members is possible, I would be very interested to know the associated plot numbers for anyone found.

Note, thanks to carolanne's post #94 I have already made note of the seven names listed in that post

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Carolanne

This is probably a silly question you gave plot 3- 12 to me i went to find the grave this morning but no luck i know stones wear away or disappear or one is not put on but i am just checking would it be plot 3 grave 12 when read or in plots 3 to 12 as there would be a difference in the number of graves to look at.

Hi Anna

I am going down the cem tonight although the group would normally charge for this I will have a quick look.

There is a board with a map of the cemetery on it, however most of the sections do not have markers, a good way to tell though is to look at the bottom kerb stone of a grave and you will sometimes find a letter and number on there.

Help again Carol would be appreciated after your New Year Celebrations. :)
I found some old notes re burials (need to make sure I link them correctly.  They are:
William Mulhearn 11 months June 1873
Annie Eliz Mulhearn 13 months May 1875
could you tell me the plot number please?
And
Ellen Roach June 1895 aged 13 months T360
Catherine Roach Feb 1899 age 5 months T360
Are these in the same grave as Anthony Roche d. 1920 and Margaret Roche d 1947? (Roach/Roche)
I also have a John William Roche 1889 age 4 months.  I know its a tall order but I think they will be close together.
Thanks and a Happy New Year  :)

Hiya Ebch
I can confirm that Anthony and Margaret are in the same grave as Ellen and Catherine.
Anthony Roche age 54, 6 Charles Street,buried 25/5/1920.
Margaret Roche age 83,6 Charles Stret,buried 25/1/1947.

John William Roach age 4m, 4 Albert Street,buried 17/5/1889,T-496.
There are 4 other burials in this grave.

I can't see a burial for William Mulhearn.
I think this is Annie Eliza it all fits but the spelling of her surname.
Annie Elizabeth Mulheran, age 13m,Hayes Croft New Street,buried 5/5/1875, T- 693.
I'll go and have another look for the missing William.

Hi Carolanne,

Bit of a tricky one this, would appreciate your help if at all possible.

My paternal grandfather's sister Joyce Chambers died in Barnsley 10 years ago, and while en route to her graveside for the burial, I remember noticing at least one BURGIN grave, but I dismissed it from my memory as I had thought at the time that her mother's maiden surname had been spelled BERGIN. Now I am more experienced in my genealogical research, I have discovered that the spelling with U was in fact correct. I'm not local to South Yorkshire (although I wish I was  ;)) so don't recall exactly where Joyce was buried, but am hoping you may be able to find some Burgin graves for me either way :crosses fingers:

Katie
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: carolanne on Monday 11 January 10 18:39 GMT (UK)
Hiya Katie
There are 10 Burgin Burials from 1879 to 1954 is there any particular name your after or if you PM me your e-mail address I can copy and paste.
I looked 1st for the burial of Joyce Chambers and can't see her listed.

Another request please Carol - Could you see if there is a burial in Barnsley Cemetery for Theop. Van Cawenberge.  He was the Parish Priest at Holyrood from 1885 and died in 1894.  Think he was from Belgium so maybe he won't be there.  Thanks  :)

I've seen the marriage in 1906 for Milson Henry Walker to Edith Winter.
In the 1901 census there is a Walker family with head of family Milson Hy Walker wife Annie sons Percy and Milson 1896 and daughter Fanny living at 30 Grange Street living next door to them is a Enoch Walker and family.Milson the son is too young to have married in 1906 so Annie the mother could have died and the father re-married.
Is this your family I can't  find them in 1911 ??

  They didn't stock anything exept booze and Mars bars.

  I went from there to Budgies and they were just as bad. I bought

 a few items and went to the checkout. She said she wanted some more

 money :o :o :o :o :o :o 

  Back to Morrisons and S** the Snow drifts and icy roads.

There are only 9 burials for the surname Dry between the years 1905 and 1943 the families all seem to come from the Albion Terrace/Tune Street area the names you asked about are not there.

Hi Carolanne

Many thanks for looking for my "Dry" ancestors.  Are there any earlier cemetery records available anywhere I can try, as I know that Ann (Buckham) Dry definitely died in Dec 1867 and her son Benjamin died in 1865 in Barnsley.  Or is there a Barnsley website I could try for info?

Thanks again

The main Barnsley Cemetery was opened around 1860/61 the only other places are going to be Church Yard Burials of which there are many. There is a website that has some of the Church Burials but the link happens to be on my old computor that has gone to a better place in the sky. I will have a look to see if I can find it for you but it will have to be later tonight.

Hey Tomkin, your are just a treasure!!!!!  :-*

I had found the death records on BMD but wasn't sure I'd found the right George with the right Alice ..... if you see what I mean (tho' I feel your 'lookup' indicates they were indeed man and wife)  ;D ...... and as you say within days of each other, how strange ugh!  Wonder what happened in Dec Q 1935 in Barnsley?  Only one way to find out - send for certs when finances allow! Hmmmm perhaps there was an outbreak of something sinister..........

Anyway Royston thanks a bunch, I'm very, very grateful you took the time and used your remaining 'couple of tokens' to do that for me.

Thanks again.

May I please ask if you can find Joseph Hoyle. He was 71 in the 1851 census and his wife was a widow in the 1861 census. There are no ages given for the 1850s on FreeBMD but it looks like he may have died in 1855.
Thank you.

Hi Carolanne

When you have time please could you have a look for some Slater families for me.  The only date I know is one for William Henry Slater 1874.

The other Slaters are Benjamin and wife Ann, Henry and wife Mary Ann, Alfred and wife Susannah, Henry and wife Ann and lastly John Henry Clegg Slater and wife Rebecca.  Any others would be a bonus :D

Is there also an Eli Hoyle who died around 1870, he would be in his late 50s.

By the way, I have a George Kenworthy born 1858/9 at Silkstone, the son of Henry Kenworthy and Jane Swallow. George had a multitude of children.

Thank you.

Same grave
David Lawson Hoyle age 4 months,5 North Pvement buried 5 December 1882.
Sarah Hoyle age 81, 32 Lofthouse Road buried 17 January 1903.

Some of my Kenworthys were born in Penistone and went from there to Darfield then Barnsley.  I have 2 George Kenworthys born about 1850/51 but it was Darfield  and I haven't aquired a Henry yet.
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: Holmemoss on Wednesday 03 March 10 15:22 GMT (UK)
Thank you, Carolanne
I am almost certain that Sarah is Eli's widow but I haven't a clue as to whom David Lawson Hoyle could be as there is no Lawson connection with the Hoyles as far as I know. Another puzzle!

The Henry Kenworthy I mentioned was born at Penistone in 1827/8; he married Jane Swallow (my connection) at Kirkburton in 1855. They lived in Thurgoland in 1861 and Barnsley in 1871 and 1881 but I don't know after that as I couldn't find them in 1891.
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: Holmemoss on Wednesday 03 March 10 15:43 GMT (UK)
Is Eli and Sarah Hoyle's son, Robert Hoyle, also buried in the cemetery? I think he died in 1887 in his 30s. Getting younger!
Thank you.
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: carolanne on Wednesday 03 March 10 15:44 GMT (UK)
We might find a connection then somewhere along the line. I'll have a nosey at Kenworthy deaths.I would say that David Lawson Hoyle is possible a G/son or nephew he's got to be a family member somewhere along the line.
There are quite a few Hoyle burials If you send me your e-mail I'll copy and paste them for you.

Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: jensquest on Thursday 18 March 10 22:22 GMT (UK)
Ive just had a thought - William was living at 43 Honeywell Street on the 1911, I wonder if the Elizabeth was his 2nd ( much younger wife)  as she was at the same address when she died. Eliza was his first, and looking at the dates of when she was buried and when the two infants were, Id hazard a guess that she died in childbirth and the twin girls followed shortly afterwards.

Carolanne would you be able to have another look at the age of this one please?  I can't find a death reg for an Elizabeth of that age. If she is considerably older then it would tie in as to who she is.

Thanks

Jen  :)
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: carolanne on Friday 19 March 10 12:53 GMT (UK)
Hiya Jen
It does say age 43 I can remember looking again because of the house number being the same number. I've just looked at the Death Index and there saying age 80 so it looks like a mistake on the part of the person who did the index I have.
Regards Carolanne
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: jensquest on Friday 19 March 10 19:03 GMT (UK)
I thought it might be a transcription error after checking the death index. If she is actually 80, it would be William's mother.

Do you happen to have a map of the cememtery? I will go and see if they have a headstone.

I do have a map somewhere but its finding it thats the problem but they now have some boards up in the cemetery with the sections mapped out.If you got in touch with the crem at Ardsley they have planns there and a plan of the grave plots and they can mark the exact plot for you.

Hi Carolanne. I forgot to ring until you reminded me  :o  so Ive just done it.

I can call up to Ardsley and collect one. The lady I spoke to said they will locate the exact grave and give me all the details they have on it too. They can also send one out by post but it would be the end of next week before it arrived because of the holiday and them sending things  2nd class.  Im hoping to persuade a friend to run me up there tomorrow and possibly then onto the cemetery to get some photos.
 Thanks again for all your help. I may be calling for your help again as this family unfolds  ;)

Hi there ,
I've been following this thread for a while and also would like to ask dozens of favours,but my real question at the moment is to ask if this database is searchable online anywhere or can a CD be purchased?
Glad for any info

Hiya Wildfowl
There is no other burial in that grave with the name Hibbert and I can't see a burial for a Martha Hibbert. I've looked for a death of a Martha Hibbert and I can't see one in Barnsley so did she re-marry or maybe move.
I'm sending you a personal message

I don't think you can buy it on CD it is searchable online but at what cost I can't say.
Try this link (i've just tried it and it works) look for Dearne Memorial Group Barnsley Cemeteries Project in there it gives you a list of the cemeteries in the Barnsley area just click on the Barnsley one, if not give me some names and I'll have a look later.

Hey Carolanne
(sounds like a song there)

I checked out the site...a bit confusing,I'm not sure if the records are complete or not...

It's a very reasonable 3.50 for 50 searches with a pay by credit card option,to be used within 1 week (that I find a bit cheeky,but it's probably a legal thingy)

Nevertheless,I think it's wonderful that you are taking the time and trouble to  be so helpful to others!

So,I'm off now to look for my 49 others (my first completed search was brilliant;one down ,49 to go)
but beware,I may be back!!

Happy Hunting

Hello Carol
In January you found me a few Crackles in Barnsley Cemetery.  I'm now looking for a Lucy Crackles, b 1871 d 1888.  She lived going towards Platts Common - poor girl drowned herself in the Dearne&Dove canal.  She doesn't appear to be in Hoyland cemetery.  Is she there on your records please?

hi carolanne
can i ask a question can you trace without the name of the person but with the grave details.i have found some old papers and theres a letter from barnsley council to an aunt saying about some grave spaces.
its Section 14 Number 342  if you can could you tell me the name of whos buried there.i think it could be part of a family plot.the name could be either hibbert or lockwood.the letter is dated 28 april 1956 so it would be after that date.
many thanks for any help

Many thanks for the information.

I have found the family on the 1901 Census living in Barnsley

John Lane,  his wife Martha and children
Robert 32 yrs, Frances A 30 yrs,  John 26Yrs, Gertrude 19 yrs and Edith 17 yrs.

As a result of your kindness  I have now found four of them. I will continue the search for the son John, Gertrude and Edith. With a popular surname (Lane) and being on the other side of the world, it takes ages to put the jigsaw together..     John Snr was my grandmothers brother.

Thanks again

Looking for a William Shaw burial in Barnsley. He was a coal miner and his son said William was deceased when the son married in Barnsley in 1879. I think William was killed in the Oaks mine disaster and would have died in Dec 1866. I don't know if his body was recovered. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The Coal Mining Resource Center (www.cmhrc.co.uk) lists a William Shaw, unknown age, killed in Barnsley in 1866. Perhaps he was killed in another incident. I don't have an address for the family. I only know his name from his son's marriage certificate - the son was living in Platts Common. Coincidentally, the marriage was witnessed by a George Kenworthy - perhaps one of yours. Thanks for the help.

Further to looking for William Shaw. I think my William Shaw may be the one whose death at age 39 was registered in Barnsley in the March quarter of 1867 (GRO vol 9c, page 130). His wife was named Caroline (possibly Sykes) who subsequently  married Thomas Winter (marriage registered in Barnsley June quarter 1869 GRO vol 9c, page 196). William and Caroline had 3 sons: George born in Hanley, Staffordshire in 1853 (my great grandfather); William born ca. 1865 in Dodworth; and Allen born ca. 1867 in Dodworth.

Hello Steve
Leeds Mercury December 14 1866 - The estimates as to the number of volunteers who were in the pit when the explosions took plae vary considerably and it is feared that not less than 28 of the men who courageously risked their lives as members of the exploring parties have shared the same fate as the unfortunate colliers. We have been furnished with a list of the names of the whole of those who volunteered, so far as that could be taken at the pit mouth as the men came forward, and in appending so we have to add with caution that it is impossible to ascertain whether any of them are amongst those buried in the pit.
There are 62 names listed including W. Shaw and an R. Shaw.

Hi carolanne,

Just found this thread today!  I am researching the Needham family and wondered if you could do a Barnsley cemetery look up for me?

The names I have are;  Frank Needham, died 12/9/1907 age 63.  Lucy Ann Needham, died March qtr 1879 age 34 and Annie Needham, died 1911 age 66.

Frank was my g'grandfather and a co founder of the engineering firm, Needham Brother's and Brown.
I live in North Wales and knew nothing of this connection until I started my research a couple of years ago!

Hoping you can help,
Baz.

There are loads of Needham burials so lets see what we can find.

Lucy Ann Needham age 34, Newton Street Summer Lane, buried 1 March 1879, section R plot 268.
Elizabeth Needham age 6,4 Middlesex Street,buried 8 March 1883 section R plot 268.
Hubert Needham age 27, Drowned in Canal @ Hoyle Mill Bridge / 4 Brinckman Street, buried 25 April 1901 section R plot 268.


Annie Needham age 65, 14 Agnes Terrace, Day Street, buried 11 February 1911, section H plot 184.
Walter Needham age 53,110 Blenheim Road, buried 28 June 1934, section H plot 184.

I can't see a burial for Frank there is only one burial in 1907 and thats for a Joseph Thomas Needham age 56,I'll have a quick look on other sites I know of.

I'm wondering if Frank has been missed off my listings the other site I've looked is giving me a burial for a Frank Needham between 1900 - 1909 in Barnsley Cemetery but this is a pay to view site and I haven't any credits left.
Google
Dearne Memorial Group & Barnsley Cemeteries Project
or
Phone the head office for Barnsley Crematorium 01226 206053
These are where all the burial records are held for the main cemeteries in Barnsley and ask if they will do you a search for Frank and quote the year he died and both of the plot numbers I gave you he could be buried with either of the 2 wives.They are very good at doing this and you can tell you live in North Wales.

R doesnt have many stones and is difficult to check. H is huge but a lot of stones do remain and plots can be found using the grave numbers in there

 I think the MI's have been done for that section but I will need to check.  If you visit the friends website there is more information there.

I would have thought being Frank Needham would qualify him for a headstone but I must admit I haven't seen one for him. Did he die in Barnsley?
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: bigbazza on Sunday 05 June 11 14:40 BST (UK)
Hi carolanne,

Hubert Needham who drowned in the canal turns out to be Herbert Needham my grandmother's brother!
He was living in Brinckman St. as a lodger according to the 1901 census shortly before he died.
I will contact Barnsley Library Archive to see if there was a report in the Chronicle.

I haven't been able to connect Elizabeth Needham (who died aged 6) to Frank Needham even though they both lived in the same street in 1881.

Cheers,
Baz.

Frank Needham was originally from Sheffield and moved to Barnsley in the mid 1850's when his father, John became a foreman iron moulder in a foundry in Summer Lane.  John went on to become a co. founder of Needham Qualter Hall in 1870.  John died in 1875 and Needham Bros. & Brown was formed by his sons with the money they received from the sale of their father's shares in NQH.

Strangely, Frank lived at consecutive addresses in Middlesex St. in consecutive censuses!  Number's 10, 12, & 14 in '81, '91 & '01.
He was living in Agnes Terrace, Day St. Barnsley at the time of his death.  His parents and eldest brother are in section P in Barnsley cemetery.
Cheers,
Baz.

Hiya Baz
I can't find Elizabeth Needham in the 1881 census infact I can't see 4 Middlesex Street so I might have to go to Specsavers.
I've been to the cemetery today I've looked in section R and I couldn't find a near enough grave number to work out where plot 268 would be. Section H is large and has loads of grave stones but even there trying to work out the numbers is like trying to do a jigsaw blind foldered anyhow I found number 179 but then the path curves and the graves nearest to the path are in the 200's so we carried on to where the path curves again and there were some 190's so I've been in the right area but can't find 184 theres either no marker or its the grave stone that has fallen face down.
If you contact the main office at the Crem they used to do print outs of all the graves in the section and mark the one your after with a X marks the spot.Once we know exactly where it is I'll go back for another look.
Regards Carol

Not sure if Ardsley comes under Barnsley cemetery, but am looking for Bernard and Mary Riley/Reilly last known adds in 1861 nbr 50 Watson Fold (I think) Ardsley.  Beranrd died in 1868 and Mary in 1869, they were both Irish so could have been RC..not sure maybe you can point me in the right direction.  ???

Thank you Patvp

Hello Carolanne:

I was wondering if you could tell me where I could inquire in Barnsley as to where my great grandmother is buried?

She died in 1959 I have her original death certificate.  But can not find her on any burial records so far.  I know for sure she is not buried with her husband in Doncaster. I am going to be in Barnsley this summer and hoping to do some research while there.

Cheers

Post by: GillianNixon on Tuesday 07 June 11 01:34 BST (UK)
Most churchyards will be closed to new burials after the opening of the municipal cemeteries, plots with spaces and plots that have already been allocated would have been used but there would have been no new spaces opened.

I cant see Ruth in either Cudworth or Monk Bretton Cemeteries so it might be worth checking the church burials. It also might be worth checking the local newspapers for an obituary even in 1959 85 was a good age and her death may have been reported.

Hello:

Thank you everyone for the suggestions.  I will certainly follow them up while I am in barnsley.  Gillian would the public library had newspapers from that time.   also would the library have burial records.

Thank you again everyone

cheers
Anne
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: GillianNixon on Tuesday 07 June 11 18:04 BST (UK)
Hi Anne

The archives and local studies department will have the newspapers and the parish records on microfiche.  Another posibility is she may have been cremated, not in Barnsley as they didn't do them until the 1960's but people did go to Pontefract and Sheffield as they started earlier.

The cemetery didn't open till 1860/61. I can only see 3 people with the surname Camp.
Fred Camp age 7 weeks, 8 Beech Terrace, Beach Street, Buried 22 November 1882, Section X plot 546.
Mary Jane Camp age 42, Hunningley Lane, Buried 11 April 1884, Section Q plot 142.
Joseph Camp age 30, 8 Garden Street off Beech Street, Buried 8 December 1885, Section X plot 546.
The other surnames without a date and 1st name are too many to write down so if you can private message me your e-mail address I'll try and get them to you.

There are a couple of Mary Ann Morris burials but by following the family in the census I think I've found the correct burial.

Mary Ann Morris age 79, 10 Greenwood Terrace, Buried 31 December 1938, Section B plot 182.
Mabel Morris age 70, Beckett Hospital/4 Hunters Rise Pogmoor, Buried 10 December 1968, Section B front plot 182.

Looking for Elizabeth Harper died  about 1864 and John Harper died 1872 both in Barnsley.
Actually would be appreciated for a look up of any Harper families and Barker families.
Hope this is not too much trouble.  As am in Australia and it is rather difficult to access records..unless of course I am looking in the wrong place and I put that down to öldtimers disease  ;D

Hiya Roxanne
You will only get his correct birth date from his birth certificate or death certificate in the late 60's I think they started putting the birthdate in the Death Index I've just looked and 1961 is too early also if I'm looking at the correct death in BMD his name is recorded as Vincent M Horrocks.I've just looked at is birth registration in BMD and that is also Vincent M Horrocks.

In my records I can't see any other person in that plot with the same surname if you know of any other name then I can look and see if they are in the same plot.Other than that you can contact the main office for Barnsley Cemetery and see if they will tell you if there are others in the same plot.

William Horne age 65, 72 Gawber Road,Buried 11 July 1946, Section M plot 895.
Also buried in the same grave
Ida Horne age 2 year 11 month,22 Castle Street,Buried 7 April 1913. Section M plot 895.
I can't see an Edith Horne in my records so hope the ones I've found are the correct family.
Just been looking on another site but its a pay to view but you can search by name and if Edith died in 1969 theres a good possibility that she was cremated and her ashes are there.
Regards Carolanne
Title: Re: Barnsley Cemetery
Post by: CassT on Tuesday 29 May 12 12:56 BST (UK)
Carolanne,

Thanks for the info, I think you have the correct family as William and Edith had a child Ida, 11 months old on the 1911 Census.

Also I think the 1969 death is "my" Edith , I might send an email of to the Crematorium. If all else fails, might have to give it the pay as you view site a go. I cannot get over how many sites in the UK are pay to view. With no details of the deceased parents christian names on the UK Death index it is hard to identify the person you are trying to find.

Once again many thanks for your help.

Hi.
Looking for burials for Thomas Firth b 1851 died 1902 & his wife Janetta b 1862 d 1907 (January I think).
There may be a family grave as Thomas´s 1st wife Ann & at least 3 of their children Gertrude, Lucy & Mary are also buried there between 1881 & 1883.
Any info would be much appreciated, particularly for Thomas & Janette.

Jeanette Bonny Firth age 45,14 Eastgate,Buried 2 February 1907 Section K plot 154
Can't see anymore burials in that grave under the name Firth.
Gertrude Firth age 21 month,No 16 Court, Shambles Street, Buried 17 June 1881, Section M plot 387.
Lucy Firth age 5 months, No 16 Court,4 Shambles Street, Buried 4 August 1881. Section M plot 387.
Ann Firth age 30, Shambles Street,Buried 28 February 1883,Section M plot 387.
I can't see any other burials in that grave with the surname Firth.
There are a couple of Mary Firth burials between 1881 and 1883 I'll write them in then you can make your mind up if I had to guess I'd go for the 1883 burial because of the location to Shambles Street and she was buried 6 days before Ann.
Mary Firth age 12,40 Boundry Street, Measbro Dyke,Buried 29 May 1881, Section N plot 621.
Mary Firth age 17 hours, Pinfold Hill,Buried 22 February 1883, Section N plot 690.
