Title: Kirkburton All Hallows and Shelley Emmanuel Churchyards online mapping
Post by: Tickettyboo on Monday 08 February 21 10:13 GMT (UK)

I tried a Rootschat search and can't see this mentioned but apologies if it has been and I am duplicating info.

While looking online for information on the burial of one of my twiglets I came across these amazing sites for the above churchyards.

All Hallows, Kirkburton  http://www.kirkburton.burialgrounds.co.uk/

Shelley Emmanuel. http://www.shelley.burialgrounds.co.uk/

The Shelley one has provided not only the burial I was looking for , but I can see the location of the grave on the map, the names and dates of the other burials in the grave AND images of the original burial register - all from a name search which brought the results up instantly.

Sadly no headstone for the grave I was interested in but had there been I would also have been able to see a good quality image of it.

Utterly brilliant and something I can only dream of for other churchyards and cemeteries :-)

Boo
