You can contact the cemetery here:-

Wath Cemetery
Cemetery Road
Wath on Dearne
Rotherham
S63 7SH
Telephone: 0808 302 8425

They should be able to give you the plot number if you have the name and date of death.

Not everyone will have a headstone or marker on the grave and she may have been cremated and the ashes scattered.

You're more than welcome Janette. If there is an office at the cemetery they may be able to give you a cemetery plan with the grave number marked on it with a "x".

Our local cemetery have done this for me on several occasions and on a few occasions have even walked me to the exact spot because they know the layout very well, even if there is no headstone.
