My 3g-grandfather Peter Pounder died Sept 2, 1817 Beeston Royds. Just wondered if anyone familiar with the area would know if there is a cemetery still existing that might be his place of burial. His 2 yearold son James died about a month later. Peter’s wife Sarah and other son Mark b1812, disappear after Peter’s death, until 1841 when I find Mark in Beverley, ERY. Any help to fill in the gaps appreciated. Sandra
