grannypat Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 During my familytree investigations I have found a "mystery" during the first 10 to 20 years of the last century that has intrigued me and I wondered if there is anyone out there who might be a twig on another branch of the same tree. If so you might hold the solution that I am seeking. Going back through your family are there any of these names ;- Owen, Laxton, Banks, Bolland, Butler, Maynard, Barratt, Grimbley. Any snippet of information would be of interest. My family were all from the Sheffield area. Gleadless, Heeley, Woodseats. I have my fingers crossed that I get loads of replies. I have tried every avenue that I can think of which includes most of the usual sites but all suggestions welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisbech Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Not sure which of the usual sites you have tried but give this one a try, it has City Road burials upto the mid 1940s http://WWW.Sheffieldindexers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannypat Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Thanks Wisbech I will give it a try. My mystery is a little deeper than just knowing where someone is buried however but it could help build up a picture of what happened back then. Thanks again.

grannypat Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Thanks for you PM DUFFEMS. I am sure that it will prove to be another piece of the jigsaw further down the line. As you know it is so difficult to find answers to your questions regarding family history during the 1900s. Sometimes you even need help to work out exactly what the question is never mind the answer. Like platting fog:confused:. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
