Holbeck Cemetery - LAYFIELD

[feathersoft]

 Hello Sandra & Ian,

Well I got nowhere with my enquiries to Leeds City Council or Farnley Hall for any of the Layfield's or Mullender's.  They are not at Cottingley, Beeston, Holbeck or Hunslett Cemeteries.
I think my only hope now is the newspapers, would either of you know which paper would cover Parkfield Row Leeds in 1963 when Betsy Jane Layfield died as hers is the only death date that I have.
Kind Regards,
Janice.

Hi Janice,

Most people around the Leeds area place their Obituary Notices in the Yorkshire Evening Post.
I believe copies are held at the Leeds Central Library, Local History Dept. Tel: 0113 2478290.

I think you'll find the staff there very helpful.

Thank you Ian, I shall give that a try.

 Hello Sandra,
At last I have a reply from the Leeds City Council.  They did a search for a fee of the Yorkshire Evening Post and sent me a copy of Betsy Jane Layfield's death notice.  She was cremated at Lawnswood.  I have already put in a query with Lawnswood about the family but did not mention the Mullender's as I didn't want to push it.

Thanks again for all your help.

Kindest Regards,
Janice.

A very big thank you to everyone who helped me with my search for the Layfield's and Mullender's.  I am making progress at last!  Where would we be without sites like this?

Kindest Regards,

Janice.
