I came across this report of a funeral for the late Edwin Millwood Oakes (1813 - 1900) dated 7th June 1900
I was going to find out more about Edwin and post an article to the site. However Edwin and his ancestors feature in the Story of Old Attercliffe (Part 2 ) by G R Vine, a transcription of which appears on Eric Youle's excellent blog.
As I have no wish to replicate the information I have just pasted a brief family tree of the Oakes family
Edwin was buried as the report states in Sheffield's General Cemetery on Sat 6th June 1900 - the grave reference is Q1 101
