  • Buxton Cemetery was laid out in 1896 about one mile south-east of the town as it then existed, on the London Road. It covered 13 acres and had two mortuary chapels; one for the Church of England and one for non-conformists.

  • A company called Deceased on line - www.deceasedonline.com has got all the burial details for cemeteries. Note that these records are also available at Archives. Contributed by Brian BINNS, 29 July 2017.

  • Sheffield General Cemetery database - 80,000+ entries, for which details may include place of birth, and in one instance I noticed of someone born in Derbyshire, a reference to maiden surname... Choose 'Resources' from the left menu, scroll down to 'burial details' and click on 'the first 6000 burials', from which you can either list them chronologically or use the brilliant, and very fast search engine..
