    Sheffield City Council have a list of people whose death notices/obituaries appeared in the local papers between 1870 and 1950. Do please read the explanation carefully first.
    https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/librari...bituaries.html

    (The Sheffield Daily Telegraph 1855-1950, Sheffield Evening Telegraph 1887-1939, and the Sheffield Independent 1819-1938 are among the Sheffield newspapers found on the British Newspaper Archive/FindMyPast websites.)

    Cemeteries and crematoria
    Free online searches for some burials. Dates vary, so check in the dropdown menu.

    Most of the records are available on Deceased Online, a commercial site.
    This is a blog from 2013, and I suspect that further records for the various Wakefield cemeteries and crematoria have been added since. https://
