Search Burial Records
There are 87,000 buried in the General Cemetery, and the General Cemetery Company kept records of every burial.
They recorded the name of the person being buried, their death and burial dates, their age, their place of residence, and their status/occupation.
In addition we have transferred information about plot owners from the written records on to a plot owners database.
*Please note - We will not be updating these online databases in the foreseeable future.
A project to put all the burial records onto a database is nearing completion and CDs of different times periods within the database are available through the
Sheffield Family History Society

Our fees break down as follows :

- £5 per photograph of the area of interest to be sent by email
- clearing the area of interest of vegetation from £5, depending on the amount of work required
If you wish you can add a donation on top of our charges which will be gratefully received.
