Thank you very much for posting this plan. This map has certainly identified the general area in which I need to be looking (old cemetery, general section). I reckoned to look there already, though! Another visit is clearly called for.  At least I won't be looking everywhere next time!

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Hunslet Cemetery Plan
« on: Monday 06 September 21 13:52 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know where I can access a burial plan of Hunslet Cemetery?  Yorkshireburialsuk has excellent plans of each individual burial section, but not how they link together so I don't know which section is which. I spent 2 hours walking round the cemetery recently looking for gravestone which I know is there but without success as I couldn't locate the section it is in.  Grave numbers do not help as it is impossible to see them.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Brighouse Cemetery

Hi,

Any experts on Brighouse Cemetery out there?  I have a plan of the cemetery, I have a section and plot no. (E113) for the grave i am looking for, but due to the great number of unmarked graves in this section and gravestones carrying no plot number, I find it impossible to locate the grave I am looking for.  Any ideas?  This cemetery is not on the NBI so I cannot find it by looking up the plot numbers of nearby graves.  Also, each time i go up, there has been nobody working there to ask.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the info.  The Greyhound I'm trying to find more info about was next to another pub called the Horse and Jockey.  Also, the address of the informant on the death cert (1864) is Cottage Street, which, I've just found out today, was just past All Saints Church in the Richmond Hill area of York Road.  I think it's fair to assume that Cottage Street was probably near the pub itself.  Also, looking at the Leodis site again, it seems that there used to be street names beginning with 'Greyhound' in this area of York Road.  Again, circumstantial evidence so  I'm still not 100% sure.

Thank you both for your replies.  However, with regard to the information on the Leodis site, it appears to me that they are talking of a different Grey Hound pub as it implies that their Grey Hound was in Vicar Lane and Vicar Lane does not link up with York Road, which is where my  ;D Grey Hound pub was.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Greyhound pub, 182 York Road, Leeds

One of my ancestors was married to the landlord of this now non-existent Leeds pub. Has anybody any information at all on the pub or any idea where I might find any?  My info comes from the 1861 census where the landlord was a William Bulmer.  According to the census, it was next door to another pub, the Horse and Jockey, which I also believe is not there today.

Thanks again so much to everybody for their help.  Yesterday I received in the post exactly what I had been looking for for so long - the birth certificate of my great grandmother, Sarah Ann DUNKIN, born in Norton in the parish of Campsall in 1843. What a relief!  Now on to the next family history problem!
