lulu77 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Does anyone know of any Quaker burial grounds in Sheffield ?? I have found out that some of my ancestors were quakers and would like to search for their graves. Any help is greatly appreciated:help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughW Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 There was a meeting house and burial ground at Woodhouse, in Meeting House Lane. Part of the cemetery is now within the gardens of private houses - I don't know what if anything survives of these. There is, or was (I haven't been there) a walled section with a few gravestones. I believe Sheffield Archives has some inscriptions recorded from this cemetery. There was also a small burial ground in Stannington, possibly only for one family. There are a few pictures here. What sort of date are you interested in for your quaker ancestors? Have you come across the Yorkshire Quaker Heritage Project? I found some interesting entries there for my 18th century Quaker ancestors. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
