Hello Glenda Since you know the precise date that your ggrandfather died I would suggest that you look for a death notice in a local newspaper, such as the Bradford Observer, which may well say where he was going to be buried. The Local Studies section of Bradford Central Library has the Bradford Observer on microfilm. Their website is http://www.bradford.gov.uk/council/libraries/central_page.html . If you asked them nicely by email at public.libraries@bradford.gov.uk they might look at the microfilm for you. If the death notice says where your ggrandfather was buried the Library staff should be able to tell you where to look for his burial record and a memorial inscription. I hope you find him.

Hello Robin, Thank you for a very positive and useful reply - I will beam off message to library - a little local knowledge is worth its weight in gold.!! I have a photo of his father's grave (Thomas Atley - died 1892) in Sheffield's City Road Cemetery and would happily travel to Bradford if I thought I might get same for William Oscar Atley's last resting place. Hence interest... Many thanks Glenda Atley Berkshire UK
