Good evening I'm new to this list and was hoping someone could help me to locate the grave of my aunt Alice PAYNE (nee ROEBUCK). Alice was born on 28 Feb 1925 and died in October/November 1974. I have been to the Sheffield Archives to try to locate the grave but have been unsuccessful. There's no trace at either City cemetery or Burngreave. An uncle confirmed that she was buried and that the service was at Christ Church Fulwood. I have been to the church but the records office can find no trace of her in their burial records. I do know that she was living in Lancing Road (round the corner from Bramhall Lane football ground). Maybe she's buried at a church nearby, but not knowing the area at that time don't know which one. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you in advance Rob

Hi Rob, Most of the burial indexes we have only cover from when the church was opened until about 1903 ish These have been transcribed by Sheffield Family History Society and are available on CD as per their website. We at "Sheffield Indexers" transcribed City Road up to 1946 and are currently transcribing Burngreave and have reach 1899 with that one. Unfortunately 1974 is still very early as far as transcribing goes. They are on line free of charge by the way St Mary's Bramall Lane is the one you are thinking of but I believe they were not allowing more burials there at that time. I think the Archives would be the only place that could sort this one out for you.
