Bradford Cemeteries

[dobfarm]

Dobfarm - I hadn't seen that on findagrave but it's definitely the same person.  Looks like someone else is looking for Joseph's grave too! 

I've checked out all the Bradford parish burials on Ancestry and Joseph isn't on any of them so I'm wondering if he was perhaps buried at a non conformist chapel.  Still waiting for Ancestry to upload those.

Judy, don't worry about moving onto another topic.  It all makes interesting reading.

Maybe join up, pool info and joint venture to find info! & on Joe.

Do you have Joe's death cert with his exact address at death

[dobfarm]

Maybe Family connections-I havn't read it. Certainly some are your area!

Graves and Headstones - 3 things to note here -

You need to look at the burial records as well as the headstone because if there was no money for an inscription your relative could still be in there.

Several churches and cemeteries had paupers graves set aside for people with no money. Inmates from Clayton workhouse were buried in an unmarked communal paupers grave at Clayton Church until 1904. Scholemoor has a communal plot as does Guiseley. Daisy Hill which is the location of Lingfield Mount psychiatric hospital, is on the opposite side of Bradford to Eccleshill. The nearest to Eccleshill would probably have been the one at Idle.

Some people without funds could be buried, with strangers, in council owned graves as opposed to privately owned ones. These were proper graves as opposed to communal ones.

good luck sandra, yes I found my benjamin, I was lucky, the staff at scholemoor are very good, some depts charge a fiver for looking up gravestones - if you ring scholemoor, they will tell you of any other possibles, also,  1871-1879 and probably further either side of these dates silbridge lane was considered as the 'slum' area of bradford, maybe if people were not able to pay for proper funerals they were interred elsewhere,  other than municipal cemeteries, but you'd need someone with more knowledge than me on that one...  do you have a burial  record for him?..i am researching an ancestor who died in the 'workhouse' and she was buried in the parish of eccleshill in 1902..hope you find him and I will bear him in mind...

 I am new to this and interested in how I can find whether a German immigrant who moved to the UK and got pregnant without benefit of marrying the man in 1891 would have also gotten herself sent to the "workhouse" if her employers terminated her services as an employee?  On the 1891 UK census, her name was Caroline Geller and I believe her child was a son, but have no name for him.

[BecGilbert]

Dear Listress,
     I am hoping that you (since you are a wizard) can help me find out what happened to a woman named Caroline Geller who came from Germany some time after 1888, met a man (my grandfather) with whom she lived during the 1891 census, but I know he got her pregnant and didn't marry her.
     Someone told me that, since my grandfather was a servant (an assistant pork butcher to Charles Beyer of 74 Carlisle Rd) that he might have been denied permission to marry (the Beyers had thought Franky Weller -- my grandfather-  "like a son" and been very angry.  He came to the USA and married here but sent money for years (against my grandmother's strong objections) to the mother of his illegitimate child.  I can't find Caroline anywhere after the 1891 census. Did she get run out of town on a rail?
                                                   Wondering....

BecGilbert,
Really you should start a new thread on this.
The logical outcome would be for Caroline to marry - there is a marriage on FreeBMD
Marriages Dec 1898   (>99%)
BURTON    Andrew        Woolwich    1d   2239    
Everett    Winifred Anna        Woolwich    1d   2239    
Fenner    John Frederick        Woolwich    1d   2239    
Geller    Caroline        Woolwich    1d   2239

Now search for Caroline Fenner or Burton in 1901 and see if she has a child.
