Grave appeal

AN amateur genealogist is appealing for help to find the headstone of her grandparents after it was removed from Almondbury Cemetery. Valerie Nicholson, 36, from Ripponden hopes to trace the gravestones of Ada Kilner, from Pole Moor, and George Lodge Kilner, from Barkisland, who died in 1945 and 1953 respectively. It is believed their headstone was removed to make way for a flower garden in around 1965. Miss Nicholson said: “George and Ada’s daughter Sarah is my grandma. She and I would really like to find this headstone. If they are in another graveyard I would like to know.” If you can help email valerienicholson@hotmail.co.uk.
