Hopskotch Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Where would a Sheffield steelworker living in Owlerton have been buried in 1832? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopman Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Possibly St Philips Church as this church had a graveyard and was open at this time. St John the Baptist at Owlerton was only built in the 1870s. See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewanarm Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Yes, would most likely be St Philip's Churchyard. Wardsend Cemetery wasn't opened until 1857. The burial registers for St Philip's are available at Sheffield Archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Findmypast has details of the burials at St Philips. Also a copy of the document prepared by the council in 1967 which gives details of where the human remains were moved to (grave by grave, mostly to Abbey Lane) and also details of the monumental inscriptions.
