During your visits to Woodhouse cemetery did you ever photographs tombstones laid out in the path around the chapel. I have several Meeson ancestors buried there, apparently in the path.

Howard,

Although I cannot help you regarding photographs of headstones located in Woodhouse Cemetery, Leeds.  I do have access to a transcript of some of the burial registers  for Woodhouse Cemetery and would be more than happy to take a look for you if you could supply me with names and if possible year of death.

Hi CJL - Sorry to jump in, Fitty.

Do your Woodhouse Cemetery burial registers, by any chance, cover 1954 burials?

I have a rather tricky one that I'm trying to locate.

Regards, David.


ps.........keep up the good work, Fitty.

David,

The database which I have access to is searchable by name so I am not sure whether it covers burials which took place in 1954.

If you want to supply me with a name I will take a look and let you know.

I don't know whether you already have all of this information but thought that I would post it just in case you didn't.
