Hi
I am looking for the burial records of
Dorral Denman Greeves died 1941
Dorral Denman Greeves died 1904
Any details of the cemetery they were buried would be appreciated
-
Dorral D Greeves aged 62 died December qtr 1941 Doncaster 9C 1016
No 1904 death for that name
-
Hi greevek,
If a different person, do you know whereabouts in the Doncaster area Dorral lived?
The death cert would provide further information to help narrow down the area in which to search for a burial.

MODIFIED because I seem to have lost the ability to read... :-[

George French RHODES d. 1908/3rd qu

I have found a George Henry Sheard buried in consecrated ground at Hyde Park cemetary Grave D397 9/5/1904.He was aged 58.Also in this grave are George Henry aged 3 6/11/1888 and Edward aged 6 weeks 29/7/1889.
Clara Sheard is buried in unconsecrated ground at Hyde Park cemetary,Doncaster.Grave Q267 4/6/1882.Also in this grave are members of the Goldthorpe family.
There are no burials for the other people in your list in Doncaster as is confirmed by an examination of the National Burial Index.
-
Thank you so much for your help. I do appreciate it! Take care,
Jane
-
Can anyone tell me how to find out which cemetary when a death record just says Doncaster?
Many thanks Dawn
-
To some extent,it depends on the burial date.Some cemetaries get full up and others open to replace them.
-
HI
I have a fewranging from 1966, 1979, 1996 x 2, 1990 and 1943
Thanks

There's more,Jane:-
All except the 1943 burial are probably recorded at:-
Rose Hill.
Cantley Lane,Doncaster.DN4 6NE.
01302 535191.This is the local crematorium and cemetery.There may be a charge for researching.
Hyde Park cemetery closed for burials in c 1960,unless someone in the family aready had a grave.
However Rose Hill also has their records.
Good luck.

Thank you, will give them aring

Hi,
I am looking for the burial record of
Robert Mulholland, died 11th. December 1964 in Doncaster (possibly at 227 Wheatley Lane?).
Thanks.
Also is there any local newspaper that might have the death notice in it? Cant find anything on British Newspaper Archives.

Just given this a "bump" - anyone able to assist?
-
The local newspaper would have been The Doncaster Free Press. Which is still an online presence.
-
The other local newspaper would have been the Doncaster Gazette - I've checked at British Newspaper Archive but it only has the years 1870 and 1958 digitised. Gazette Newspapers still exists as a publisher.

Thank you, much appreciated. I had found the Gazette on BNA, but assumed they had actually closed in 1958 and didn't realise they were still in existence. I'll try them.

Thank you too, also much appreciated. I'll try them. I've noticed that the records for Rose Hill Cemetery (seems to be the Doncaster burial place most used in 1964) are now in the Doncaster Archives - if I get nowhere with the papers I'll put in a request there.
Again thanks...

UPDATE -
The current Doncaster Gazette actually only launched in 1995 and are therefore unable to help.

UPDATE -
The Doncaster Free Press is part of a group of over 200 newspapers and are unable to store physical records - suggested the local library.

This is the link for archives and also newspapers in local studies. They have recently come together in the former museum building at Chequer Road.

Thank you for this. Unfortunately I wont be able to get there - I'm located in Ireland.

Archives and Local Studies should be able to make a search for you, in newspapers and burial register. There would probably be a small charge for research and copies, but fairly straightforward as you have a date for the event. Otherwise try Doncaster Family History Society, who will probably have a member willing to help.

I'll drop A&LS an email to check. I tried the Doncaster FHS previously and they replied they couldn't assist.
Thanks again.

Just to update and close off my request.
I was able to get the plot details directly from the cemetery - they were more that helpful.
Thanks everybody for advice and input...
