Good morning, I am trying to find the location of my Father’s grave in Otley cemetery. I have a plot number (412 in S section) but I am not sure of where abouts this will be as he died before I was born. Please can you help me. Is there any maps I can look look at online.
I’m trying to locate my great uncle’s grave in section S of Otley cemetery but, of course, I’ve no idea where that might be – can anyone help, please?

Good morning Mike
I am looking for a relative who was buried in 1896 in Otley cemetery. I have a plot number of E,251.
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to find this when I visit the cemetery?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Lorraine,
Enter the Cemetery through the main gate off the Otley to Pool Road, walk up the main drive until you are the facing the chapel, the section to your right is Section E.
Regards
Mike.
Hi Morris,
Section S can be located by going through the main entrance on the Otley to Pool Road, take the first path to the right off the Main Drive, the first section of graves is Section I, the second small section and the third larger sections are Section S, it is directly opposite the WC and the Old Mortuary Building.
We dont have any complete maps of Otley Cemetery, however this is a municipal cemetery so they may have a map at the Bereavement Services, Farnley Hall, Leeds. tel- 0113 378 8196, or at least explain the layout of the cemetery.

Hi Mike I have been a member of the old system for many years on Yorkshire Indexers which I loved and could work but as I have lost my password but you still have my username and email address it says I have to go on to the password reset form but where can I find this please. It is very frustrating this new system help please.
Hi Mike please ignore my previous message as have just found my password and was able to log in and find what I wanted for my sister in law.

Where is the Catholic section at Otley Cemetery?
There is no evidence that I can find of a separate section for Catholic Graves in Otley Cemetery, in fact, the only reference I can find to a Catholic Grave is in Section G Row 0 Grave 64 James Joseph Barr is recorded as being Roman Catholic.

hi mike’ are there any photos of Otley Cemetery. as i can find little information on it.
Please can anybody tell me where Section C is at Otley Cemetery. Many thanks.
Hi Wendy,
I have looked at the information we have on the cemetery and although it states there is no C Section, we have 700+ graves with a C section reference. I think the only place that will have a definitive answer is the Bereavement Services, Farnley Hall, Leeds. tel- 0113 378 8196, or at least they may be able to explain the layout of the cemetery. Sorry I cant be of more help. Regards Mike.
