Good morning Brian,
A weekend in Sydney but thoughts entirely in Leeds.Thank you so much again.My Mum very keen I pass on her thanks too....very grateful.
I have looked up the cemetery and seems now landscaped with the gravestones used for paving and edges etc....some even buried.It looks pretty, and with some big architectural features.There would be worse places to finish up.
Going to contact the University who apparently have plot records etc.
Have a good Sunday,and thank you.
Best regards,
David

Have sent Personal Message Calverley Lad.......just an amazing result so big thank you to him and the Rootschat facility that made it possible.Other respondents too.....thanks for the goodwill.
My own 'sense of place' will now want to figure out where in the landscaoed grounds of the cemetery Martin might be.....so that's next !
My Mum so grateful for knowing more, despite being so long ,so she very happy and sad at same time.My Dad went to Leeds Uni,so to find that they now own the land that was once the cemetery a sort of satisfying closure.
Thanks to everyone that posted,and huge thanks to Calverley Lad for knowing where to look.....amazing.

To 'gringlestone'
Hello Sally,
Thanks for your guidance the other day.Have made contact, and Nancy going to see what she can do for me.
She has made a start, and it's just a question of response times from cemeteries and other authorities.
Will of course post any breakthrough's....finding her best progress so far !

David

Thank you so much.I actually started at Harehills having seen reference made to that cemetery in connection with Hyde Terrace.
I contacted a lady at Lawnswood cemetery office, who said she couldn't find mention of my twin.Anyway with your lead to Nancy, that could be a great help.Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you Stan.
Yes I realise that it isn't going to be straightforward.Have done a lot of work on it so far, and will just keep trying.
Just hoping that someone has some specific knowledge of how it [stillbirth] was dealt with at Hyde Terrace.

Hello,
First time here ! Interested in 'gringlestone' story.I am twin and brother stillborn at Hyde Terrace Leeds 24/7/1949.
The usual mystery surrounds what happened to him.Having no success so far with cemetery records,authorities.'Gringlestone' mentions lady who finds graves etc...would really appreciate any information from anyone as to what would happen then. Apparently my father told that day that for $2.00 he could be buried with someone else ! My Mum now 91 and suddenly started talking about it, and desperate to know...my Dad no longer with us so can't ask him.
Any guidance would be great.
I was back in Yorkshire for 3 days earlier this month,
but not enough time to really look at possible leads,
Thank you from Sydney
