    Thanks for that. 32 of my ancestors are buried in Beckett Street, I,opened in1857 including at least two in Guinea Graves. You would also find lots of interesting graves in Holbeck Cemetery

      Thanks for watching. Very Interesting. Have you found any of your ancestors graves here? I'll check out the other Cemetery. I do have another on my list for Leeds too 😊

    I'm pretty sure my great great grandfather Thomas Dobson is in one of those Guinne graves died 1920 😢

      That's certainly a year the graves come from, so it's possible. If you ever visited them, you'd see they all run in date order, so might be easy to find. Best wishes
