Title: Hudderfield Burial - Haigh
Post by: Darryl Nugent on Tuesday 18 March 14 15:40 GMT (UK)

I'm trying to find the grave(s) of Sarah Ann and Daniel Haigh. They ran the Cobden Hotel in St George's Square, Huddersfield at the time of Sarah's death in 1892. Daniel remarried and was running a temperance hotel in 1911 in Regent Street. He died in 1925.
Any suggestions where I might locate their graves would be welcome. Neither apper in the NBI

Thanks

Darryl Nugent

I would hazard a guess at Edgerton Road Cemetery, but I could be wrong.  :-\

According to their website, Huddersfield and District Family History Society are in the process of transcribing the burial records - Consecrated is complete - and another member is currently photographing the headstones, and some of the memorial inscriptions have been completed.

Well worth asking them for a search.  The found my graves for me, and I was more than happy to pay the search fee.  ;D

Hi

Edgerton Cemetery would be the best place to look but it could depend on what religion they were or if they had an old grave in one of the graveyards.

Just a thought - could they have been cremated?

I think he would have had to go to Leeds for cremation not sure. Huddersfield crematorium didn't open until the 1950's.
