I have found that one of my ancestors (Eliza Lees) is buried in Sheffield General Cemetery in plot M14. The plot was owned by her husband (Paul Lees) and it says there are 7 other people buried in this plot but no other details. I am guessing the other burials were after the first 6000 which are recorded online. Is there a way to find out who else was buried there? I guess eventually her husband and maybe children but I'd like to know for sure.

Thanks :)

The General Cemetery Trust have indexed all the burials at the General Cemetery in both the consecrated and the non-consecrated section. The discs are available through the Sheffield & District Family History Society, with all proceeds going to the trust.

I can only find 6 burials in this plot including Eliza

Section M grave 14, non-consecrated.

Death date/ burial date/ Forename/ Surname/ Age/ relationship or occupation/ address.

10 Jan 1861. 13 jan 1861. Eliza Ellen ALLISON, 14m, d. of James ALLISON, Bookseller. Snig Hill

Is there any way of getting a plan of the plots and where they are? I am looking for Y1 150 which contains my great grandfather, George Stones. I have searched high and low for a plan but its proved unsuccessful

When you do visit - take a good pair of pruning shears (much ivy and brambles), stout boots and gloves, long sleeves and a mobile phone in case rescue becomes necessary. Photo below of the state of one of my ancestor's graves in the General Cemetery:
