Thurlstone Burial Mystery
« on: Saturday 08 June 13 12:50 BST (UK) »
I've been searching frantically for the burial location of my Gt.Gt.Grandmother, whom is of great interest to me, yet it still remains a mystery..

Rachel Hinchliffe died October 30th 1920; 28 Towngate, Thurlstone..

Her death certificate states wife of Benjamin Hinchliffe although the 1911 Census has her as a widow (in Deepcar). Her son (Thomas, from Deepcar) in attendance.

I believe she isn't buried at St.Johns, Penistone or at the Stottercliff Cemetery via searches from The registers for cemetery's in Barnsley and the Wakefield Archives who were very helpful.

I would be grateful for any advise on direction..

Have you checked local papers for a death notice? They sometimes give the place that the funeral is to be held.
