Hi There,
Please can anyone help.
Im trying to find the grave number of Frances Emms who died in 1961 and was buried in Harehills Cemetary Leeds.
Also is it possible to get a map/plan of the graveyard?
Hope someone can help.

Hi
Sorry for hijacking a post. I too am searching for family in Harehills Cem. Can you help? They are:
Joseph Marsh and his wife Amy
Charles Jessey (There should be 2 of them, father and son, but I dint think they're buried together)
James Murray and his wife Ivy.
Many Thanks

Good Afternoon Nigel,
A very warm welcome to Rootschat. Here are the burial details for the people you requested.
Harehills Cemetery
Grave Section F. Grave Number 48 Grave type Consecrated.
9th April 1928
Burial of of Joseph Marsh aged 77 years.
20th June 1929
Burial of Amy Alice Marsh aged 68 years
Also buried in the same grave is an Alice Ball.
13th November 1959
Burial of Alice Ball aged 70 years.
Grave Section U9. Grave Number 306. Grave Type Unconsecrated
31st December 1982
Burial of Charles Frederick Jessey of 3 Potternewton Heights, Leeds 7. Aged 76 years.
Grave Section U9. Grave Number 161. Grave Type Unconsecrated
6th March 1985
Burial of Charles Joseph Jessey of 61 Newton Lodge Drive, Leeds 7. Aged 23 Years.
I also found the burial of a Donald Jessey so thought I would post the details and you can then decide whether he his part of your Jessey family.
Grave Section Y. Grave Number 636. Grave Type Consecrated.
7th July 1933
Burial of Donald Jessey aged 3 months.
Donald is buried alongside a further nine other people all of whom appear unrelated and died in 1933.
There are 47 burials in Harehills Cemetary for the surname Murray but unfortunately not the burial of an Ivy Murray. There is however the burial of a James Murray in 1978 aged 73 years. If you think this is the person you are looking for information about, let me know and I will let you have the grave number.
I have also located a photo of the headstone of Joseph and Amy Marsh and also Donald Jessey.
Should you want me to send you copies of these images, you would need to make 2 more posts and then you should be able to send me a message via the private message system. If you send me your email address via the private message system I will gladly email the images to you.
Please don't post your email address on the public forum.
Best Wishes
CJL

Thank you so much.
The James Murray you mention is the James Murray I'm looking for. However, Ivy should be burried there too. I remember visting her grave as a teenager. Her maiden name is Keighley and she died in 1991.
I was expecting 2 Charles Jesseys but one of them is different. My uncle, is the one who died in 1985 and my Great-Grandad is the one who died in 1982. Just to confuse matters, I'm also looking for a Charles Frederick Jessey ( My Grandad) who died around 2002, again, he should be there, I attended his funeral.
Donald is the brother of my grandad, he died aged 3 months, so yes, I would like any information you can give. Once I can PM you, I will send you my email address.
I am researching the family tree and the chances are that many of the Murrays buried at Harehills are related to me, it's a big family.
Thanks again.

Hi Nigel,
I am wondering whether given how relatively recent (1991 and 2002) these particular burial registers have not yet been transcribed. If that is the case then even though they are buried in Harehills Cemetery then they would not appear in the database.
If you have any other burials which took place in Leeds, I would be more than happy to take a look for you and post any details I might find.
Best Wishes
CJL

Thank you.
I'm sure there will be many more. If I send you my email address, would you be able to send me some pictures and maybe a map of the graveyard, showing the sections? I plan to visit next weekend.

Nigel,
Sending you images via email within the next few minutes.

Thanks. Usually the Hebrew is significant for jewish graves as it gives the name of the father but im thinking its probably not her
-
I can't see rare possibility of the unlikelihood of 2 Bertha Cohen's bodies being buried in 2 different graves in Harehills cemetery Leeds on the 2nd Dec 1982.
yet anything is possible. ???
-
No its not that, I am unsure when and where Bertha Cohen died and was buried. That's why I wanted to see this particular headstone to check the Hebrew. However since making the posting I believe she died much sooner than that

If you think she may have died in Leeds, you can check the Master Index for Leeds Jewish Cemeteries here ...

The majority of stones are photographed. Select Previous/Next image to look for the spouse.

Hi Hgreenla
Though you have been accurate with your information that has led to Calverley Lad great finds and grave headstone photo as to a Bertha Cohen who died 2 Dec 1982, being a grave of modern times, can you relate more information as to your Bretha's history known to you ? and that may give us indications , where she lived most of her life. Did she have a trade or craft vocation with history of it, or a family, most obvious her approx year of birth and most important is she a family relative with known history ? but be careful what you post as to your family history connections to living people. - just basic stuff to find the right death year and grave.
In short! you are asking members of Rootschat to go seeking grave location information and to find an actual grave in a graveyard or cemetery to photo a grave which is fine!! when the grave is known to be the right correct for your family history and members will sometimes put themselves out to go that ex mile at their own expense and time to find a headstone or MI for that reason to help another member.
What we don't usually do ? is go looking for grave cemetery location or MI info on the pretext that it maybe or not be the right grave or to find info that's needed at attain if its the right person in the grave unless the info is on line.

Thank you all for your kind assistance. I find the geneology community all very helpful. If anyone would like to help me further I'd sooner do it per pm but I don't think I'm allowed to use the pm facility on here yet but I can see messages so would be able to see your email address

It used to be, to post 3 times on any thread to use a PM service to new members but you have 4 posts so your PM service should be open to use. ;)
