I am an active member of the Pontefract FHS and we have quite a few
members interested in Methley, with ancestors from that area. Myself
being descended from William Hartley of Oulton, who married in
Methley in 1735.

We have had a request which I am hoping someone can answer.
Do the Grave registers for St Oswalds survive? And if so does anyone
know where they are, presumably they may have been deposited in the
West Yorkshire Archives, Leeds Division.
These are not the Church Burial registers that they are looking for,
but the register that shows who was buried in which grave as some
headstones have not always been inscribed with the full occupants
names.

If they do survive our MI's co-ordinators would be interested in
transcribing and indexing them for future use.
