A big thank you to Peter for helping to find my brothers grave. He died of Spina Bifida in 1968 and was buried in an unmarked grave. Thanks to the selfless dedication and timely response from Peter Shields, my parents and myself have been able to finally put to rest my brother Mark. It is very touching to see such humanity, what we thought was lost forever was found by a kind and thoughful man. Many thanks, Carl.
A huge thank you to Peter for helping me with my burials in Wombwell cemetery and supplying me with photos of the family grave markers. I'd also like to add that the idea of the cemetery project along with this website is absolutely terrific. I'm making a donation towards the cemetery project.
This is a terrific site. It's such an invaluable asset to have indexes for all the Barnsley area cemeteries & crematoria in one place. It has saved me hours if not days of searching all the individual records & Peter has been extremely helpful in looking for burials not on the site yet. Thank you so much.
Over from America for 2 short weeks and was able to find several ancestors thanks to this site. What a wonderful resource. Thank-you so much.

Are there any burial records for Bolton upon Dearne cemetery before 1830?
Hi Shaun,
Before Bolton-on-Dearne Council Cemetery opened burials were at St Andrew The Apostle Churchyard, I have the burial details from 1674-1904 when burials ceased, email me if you want me to look anyone up for you as the data is in Two Books, [email protected]
Take Care

Thank you for a most helpful and informative web site
I will be making a trip to Bolton upon dearne this coming sunday 16/10/11 in the hope of finding the graves of my Grandad Frederick Nelson Bodkin and Uncle Herbert
is it possible for you to tell me if there is a grave marker or head stone in existance for these previously 2 lost family members I know the plot reffs J 486 & K 580 respectivly from my search but dont know if any mamorial info is available
maybe this is something that could be added to the serch results on your already wonderful site as I'm sure that there are many unmarked graves in most cemateries across the country
can I also say what fantastic value for Money your service provides in what is rapidly becoming a very expensive quest to find my family history
Thanks again Andrew Bodkin of Leeds
Hi Andrew,

Hi Peter,
What a great website you have and so helpful. Can you tell me where Barnsley, Ardsley, Monk Bretton folk were buried before the earliest years on your site?
Hi Elizabeth,
Most were buried in Local Churchyards, I have Hoyland St Peters Churchyard, Burials, All Saints Darfield,St Helens, Thurnscoe and St Andrews, Bolton-on-Dearne. Sorry but thses are the only ones I have managed to get hold of.
Peter
To all concerned with this website, THANK YOU, it has proved to be very helpful and filled in quite q few gaps. The cost was very reasonable, even over here in Australia.

Hi Peter,On visiting Barnsley Cemetery yesterday,I noticed opposite my parents grave,the gravestone of Frank Markham Horbury and his daughter Claire Marie Horbury.I wonder if you have any details of the area they lived in as I am sure our family knew them and it was a shock to see the grave.
