Hello Chris,

Charles Smith (for this date) does not appear in the index for Tinsley Park
cemetery - so I think City Road would be the most likely.

burial places.

what was known in 1955 as the City General Hospital. This was prior to that
known as the Fir Vale Infirmary and originally part of the Sheffield Union
Workhouse. It is now known as the Northern General Hospital.

at City Road. The ENG-SHEFFIELD website will give you both details of the
hospital and cemeteries.
