Our burials database now comprises details of more than 9,000 burials with more than 7,800 entries from Knottingley cemetery alone. As I’ve already said, this is a useful resource to have available when compiling your family history. Find one member of a family, take note of the grave number, and then search for others interred in the same plot. It’s often a good way to locate a wife who had remarried after the death of her husband, as they were often interred along with their first husband.
Over the past few days I have entered all Knottingley cemetery burials from January 1928 through to May 1937 and I intend to keep adding additional records until I have completed right through to 1945. Our database already contains details of all burials at Knottingley cemetery from 1945 through to 2005 so that leaves me with just another 8 years worth to make the link between the 2 batches of records. Once that link is made it will leave only the period 1907-1927 in order to fully complete the entire cemetery from approx 1859 right through to 2005.
