Title: Died at Nether Hallam in 1883 - where would the burial be ?
Post by: heathers on Thursday 12 September 19 09:34 BST (UK)

My ancester Esther Read died at 30 Harworth St, Nether Hallam in 1883.  Can anyone suggest where she might be buried.

Thanks
Sue

Hope this helps.

Brilliant thanks.  I thought by 1883 she would have been in a cemetery. Just got at the image via FindMyPast and the address ties up.  Esther was my Great Great Grandmother. According to her death certificate she died of Phthisis  (TB)
Many thanks again

St Philip's churchyard closed in 1857 all burials after that were at Wardsend cemetery., although the service was at the church.  Esther is in grave E 68

There is also a burial for John Read aged 8 of Howarth St buried 2 Oct 1878 son of Francis but not in the same grave.

Wardsend have their own Facebook page.

Many thanks for that extra information.  A church service then cemetery burial makes sense in 1883.  Also, John was her son.
