Hello Marion I may be able to help with locations here. In Bradford, Bankfoot is actually in full Wibsey Bank Foot, Bankfoot being located in Manchester Road, about ¼ north of Odsal Top. Bank Top is normally the shortened name of Horton Bank Top, but in this case perhaps not. The road running from Bankfoot, going uphill towards Wibsey is called Wibsey Bank and is quite steep, so it would be reasonable to assume that the Bank Top cited here, is the Wibsey end of Wibsey Bank. I would imagine that the most likely place for a burial from this area would be North Bierley Cemetery, which is located just off Halifax Road, and about ½mile from Odsal Top. I hope that this is of some small assitance Kindest regards Keith
Many thanks Keith, my next quest is to track down burial records.
