Hi Bill There is a burial of Plateras Lawson JACQUES in Utley Cemetery, Keighley. The full details are in Volume 7 of the Monumental Inscriptions of Utley Cemetery which were transcribed by the Keighley & District FHS. I don't have this volume so cannot help further. There are a further 29 JACQUES people named in the Index. Blessings.

Would anyone happen to know whether the Keighley FHS transcription for MIs has any record for Benjamin Hird, b. c. 1779, died some time between 1851 and 1858, and his wife Jane Lucia, died 18 Aug 1858? Thanks, Rob (Yorkshireman in exile in Massachusetts)
