harehills cemetery WALKER

[jinnyf]

I am told that my great-aunt Florence Louisa Walker (26 May 1887 - ?1972) was buried in Harehills Cemetery with her father.  I did a lookup (can't remember which site) and was unable to find any Walker.
Can anyone please tell me where to go to research this properly?  On the internet that is, I'm in Australia.

I'm particularly interested in finding out  about the father.  I believe he was called William Albert Walker and was born in 1857.

Many  thanks
Jinny

Thanks - any idea when he died, please?

[CaroleW]

You need to check for the last census he appears on then use freebmd (see above) to look for a death

FS shows he was still alive in 1911

[jinnyf]

Yes, I used FS and FreeBMD and came up with deaths from 1917 to 1944.  I was hoping to pinpoint the year from the cemetery
