The burial registers for St Stephens at Lindley are still held at the church.  You could try sending an email to them and see if they will look for Grace for you.

Hi Ian

I called in at St Stephens to look for a headstone but sadly there isn't one.  I took a photo of the plot, which is the one directly to the left of the CWGC grave of H Stott.

Having looked back through my emails I see I was told that they charge £28 per hour (minimum of £28) for them to search their records!

If you don't mind waiting, I can contact them to see if I can arrange to view the burial books and photograph them, unless anybody else has access?

Thank you Sandra !
It's nice to know you found the spot and it certainly helps a lot having a reference for the plot with a headstone at the side !

That search charge is outrageous..... :'(

There's is no rush on viewing the burial record Sandra and thanks for your efforts.... by the way could I use the image to put on the find a grave memorial ?
regards Ian

You're welcome to use it for anything you like.  It's very low quality as I've had to reduce the size to upload it on here.

If you send me a PM I can let you have a better copy if you need it.

Hi Ian

Finally got to the church to view the burial register.

I found Grace Haigh's burial in grave Q6, buried Aug 15th 1908 aged 83 years.  Her address was given as Bower Lane, Heckmondwike.

Are there any other family members you think may be buried at St Stephen's?

Hi Ian

Not sure if this is a member of your family, but I've come across another person buried in grave Q6

Annie Smith of 57 Wellington Street, Lindley, buried 7 November 1939 aged 56 years
