Hi Cas The Index produced by Philip Rushworth, relates to the 177 volumes of MI's produced by Arthur Blackburn. The Mi's recorded are for the Bradford area, excluding most of the municipal cemeteries and does not cover the West Riding. If I remember correctly, the Index is in two sections and both need to be checked. The index is very useful, because quite often people are not buried where you expect them to be. Wives can be buried in their parents plot rather than with their husband, and I have come across references to people who died overseas.

The index I guess would be useful if looking for a rare name and unknown locality across west yorkshire. cheers Cas -----Original Message----- From: Janet C [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 27 June 2006 11:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ BRAD] Bradford Central Library lookup request Hi Keith I'm not able to help on this one, as I don't live in the Bradford area either, but did you know that you can borrow a film of the Blackburn Index from your local LDS Family History Centre.
