its a great feeling to see yourself on the internet. I am one of the pupils unveiling the memorial and i thought it was a experiance among all. I’m the one in the Black and red coat ( the odd one out to the pupils of The Hill School). That poem at the bottom is mine. Yippee. A special thanks to Pete Shields for making that day possible for me.

Many thanks to Peter Shields for helping me track down where our family burial sites are at Bolton-Upon-Dearne Cemetery.Its nice to get the information we required for free without having to pay vast amounts of money for search fees... Thanks once again.

I used to play in this cemetery when I was but a wee lad visiting my grandma. A beautiful cemetery, to be sure.

I found your website while trawling the web. I am from Goldthorpe originally. I was born in 1944. I am interested to know if the male choir pictured on the website is The Thurnscoe Male Voice Choir as my brother-in-law, Ernest Frederick Smith was a member many years ago.

When our ancestors came to Australia they left a very large family in and around the Barnsley area. Thanks to your site Peter I have found the resting place of 136 of them and still counting....a great result for my research....with thanks from John

Thank you so much, Peter, for your help in tracking down my ancestors. I really appreciate that you've gone above and beyond what I ever expected. I have been able to get a glimpse into their lives from my computer here in America. This site is a wonderful resource!
Many thanks and take care,
Andrea

Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put in.

I only found this site today and have found burials for both sets of my great grandparents after searching for 5 years.

I am now looking foward to coming up from Essex in a few weeks time to visit their graves.

Your work and effort is greatly appreciated.

Posted 12 Jan at 9:59pm by michelle

I would like to say a very big Thank You to Peter for this excellent website and all the help he has given me. I have found lots of burials for my relatives in the Barnsley area.

You have done a great job with this website.

Thanks you again

Dear Peter

Just a short note to say thank you for all your help so far, particularly the added touch of the photograph of the Camplejohn Bros Bus!

I am most grateful and I will certainly come back to you should I need anything else

Kindest Regards
Andrea

great site pete many thanks

Posted 2 Mar at 11:24am by peter townend

An excellent site. Many thanks. Researching Wood family from Carlton/Curworth and very interesting to find family shared a grave with Ripley family. Perhaps someone will have the time to tackle other regions!!

Posted 5 Mar at 9:48am by Carol Rees

Excellent site and well worth the money for tokens! I have found dozens of ancestor's burials, so very happy.

One thing to improve search results would be a date button, so we can narrow down search results to a certain time period, as with common names, I have returned between 6 - 15 page results.

Other than that, great site and glad I found it! (via Google)

Posted 9 Mar at 2:41pm by Melody

Hi MELODY,

I have contacted Ian who is building the website and he says it can be done, and I am sure he will do it, thanks for the idea.

Peter

Posted 10 Mar at 10:14pm by Peter

Hi Melody and all - there is now a date range option that lets you filter down to the decade.

Posted 11 Mar at 2:02pm by Ian

I have only found this site and know that a lot of hard work has gone into preparing all the details.My question before I start to search is there any way to be able to tell who is husband /wife and /or children, I have names where there are pages by said name.

Thank you and great job.
Margaret

Posted 20 Mar at 2:05am by Margaret

Hi Margaret,

All the information is taken from the Burial Registers and there are no indications of who was the Husband, Wife or Child,the reason we give 50 pages of search material is so you can have a good look through, but who is who's relation is not available.

Peter

Posted 21 Mar at 2:37pm by Peter

Hi Peter

Congratulations on a great site which has solved a lot of problems for me re family history. Thanks for your hard work.

Posted 30 Apr at 3:41pm by Barbara

This is an amazing source for family tree researchers. I have found many relatives and am indebted to you. A big ask - would it be possible to store our searches for later use and evaluation ? Sometimes we don't realise the value of a record until later.

Posted 9 Jun at 11:38pm by Judy

Hi Judy,

Thank you for your comments, I have sent an email to Ian who is building the site and he will let you know if anything can be done.

Peter

Posted 10 Jun at 10:31pm by Peter

@Judy unfortunately we will not be adding the ability to save results just yet. In the meantime you may find your browser's File -> Save Page As menu option helpful.

You site is very informative, realistically priced. It provided me with several plot numbers for possible relatives, and I had a successful trip around the town visiting Darfield, Ardsley and Barnsley Cemeteries. My next trip will take in Hoyland , roston and Monk Bretton.

Posted 13 Aug at 9:50am by Jack Bright

Thank you Peter for helping me find my brother's grave, without this website and your help I would never have been able to achieve. Your work is very much appreciated.
