Silas, there are two Harrisons buried in churchyard of St. Mary The Less Allerton by Water but niether have a headstone or other marker,

However there are headstones in St. Oswalds Church cemetary Methley for
John Thomas Harrison died nov. 14th 1905 aged 43
and Sarah, Wife of the above who died Jan 2nd 1914 aged 58.

there is also a headstone for Sarah Ellen Harrison who died 28th June 1943
also Stephen Harrisonwho died 27th Feb. 1963
forgot to take camera, but can return and take piccies if you want,
both Churches are in the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds, so more records may be held in the Leeds Archives, where ever they are.

Hello again Peter.

The Harrisons' graves you have found unfortunately don't tie up with any of mine.  I have a John Harrison, but he was born in 1866, so not the right one going by the age and year of death.  Perhaps the unmarked graves at Allerton Bywater could be rellies of mine, but we'll never know.  Thank you anyway for your kind help and offer of photos.  Harrison seems to be a popular surname in the Yorkshire area !!  Thanks again for everything.

Silas.

Hi Peter Piper

It would appear you are alot closer to Methley than I.  Apparently my Great Grandfather Thomas Harrison born 1868 was a founding member of the Methley Cricket club and died around 1953-4 at age 86, he was buried at Methley Cemetery and his wife was also called Sarah.  I can only presume St Oswalds as this is where all the Baptism's & Marriage's took place.  You offered Sila's assistance with a photo if you found anything.  Please could you assist me in my search of where my Gt Grandfather's headstone may be, I would love to know any small detail of his final resting place.
Here's hoping you can assist, I would take the photo myself if I could but it would mean a 24,000 mile round trip.

Regards & here's hoping

Hi Mark,

I think Allerton By Water comes under Leeds as will Methley.   They are not under Wakefield.

Mark, no body at cricket club when I called in, but will keep calling, somebody should be there soon, as the cricket season will be starting, at least they are keeping the grass cut, might be a few weeks, but will let you know what I find

Hi Peter

Any offer of assistance is most appreciated, no rush, I have waited 38 years to go searching for Thomas, so don't go too much out of your way.

Thanks again, I do look forward to hearing from you.

Regards
Mark
