Hello,
I am looking for the burial place if possible of Edwin and Sarah Halliwell, Edwin appears to have died in 1875 age 61. I am not sure about Sarah.
One of there sons is buried in All Saints, Halifax, but they dont appear to be there.
Thanks in advance.

You really need to tell us when they were both born and where you last have them on census
-
Sorry about the lack of information.
Edwin Halliwell born Halifax 14/8/1814 and Sarah Stocks was born possibly in Huddersfield circa 1816.
Edwin's occupations where a Bootmaker and Police Constable.
They are on the 1851 and 1871 as I recall in Halifax.
-
The 1871 shows Sarah was b Halifax 1814
-
Have you checked later censuses for Sarah to narrow her date of death?
Have you checked freebmd for a death? www.freebmd.org.uk

Edwin was buried 7.5.1875 at King Cross (Halifax) St Pauls

Many thanks for the repiles, two possible deaths for Sarah in 1879 in Halifax. They where both on the 1871 census.
-
On the 1851 census, her place of birth is given as Huddersfield.
-
Possible for Sarah, same place as Edwin
Sarah Helliwell
Age 63
Burial Date 30 Oct 1879
Burial Place King Cross (Halifax), St Paul, Yorkshire, England

Slightly off-topic, but here is a news item in case you haven't seen it.

Many thanks to all who have posted. Sarah's brother John was buried in Kings Cross too, but their Parents where buried in Rastrick, so it hasnt been just one place, but different churchyards/cemeteries. I will applying for their death certs in due course.
That was very interest information on Edwin's job, which I only knew from the 1851 census return.
Many thanks again.

Just checking - do you know you can buy a digital copy of each death cert for £3?

Hello,
Thank you, Yes I do know about the digital copies, they are very helpful and are very quick to arrive. I am ordering Edwin's and Sarah's and will post in due course.
