Title: Help With Burial 1833 Clayton (Non Conformist) Please
Post by: jamesbo on Wednesday 19 June 13 18:21 BST (UK)

Please can anyone help me to track down the following burial:
Joseph Gawthorpe  buried 19/9/1833  Clayton  (near High Hoyland)   Non Conformist.
I've got it from the IGI, but it does not seem to be available on Ance*ry and it is not the Parish church of High Hoyland. (perhaps it was one of the Methodist/Wesleyan chapels?).  I'm very keen to get Joseph's age at burial. I believe that Joseph was a publican in Skelmanthorpe and that in one of the cemeteries around there, there is a headstone with  this information on it. I'm hoping that one of Rootschatters already has this information.
Thanks very much.

Hi

The West Yorkshire guide for family historians mentions Clayton West Methodist but only marriages from 1914 and baptisms from 1912 and baptisms for the Methodist circuit from 1859 to 1881 so looks like no burials. Did not build chapel until 1835.

Thanks for that John - I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that a fellow Rootschatter will be able to provide me with this info.
