Yorkshire
Regiment War Graves, - Middlesbrough (Linthorpe) Cemetery |
The cemetery is in the South-West part of the Borough, covers nearly 100 acres. It belongs to the Corporation. The graves are scattered in all parts of the cemetery, and a War Cross is erected. There are now nearly 160, 1914-1918 and almost 60, 1939-1945 war casualties interred in this site.
The cemetery is extensive, and it may help to have the plan of the cemetery to hand when looking for individual headstones.
Some views of the cemetery are shown at the bottom of this page, - parts of the cemetery are now a nature reserve.
44 men who served with the Yorkshire Regiment from World War One are interred in the cemetery, together with four Green Howards from World War Two. Select the link below to view the photos of their Commonwealth War Graves headstones.

Private Albert Wood is not listed in the Commonwealth War Graves Register.
Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) has investigated more
about this soldier from other genealogical resources, and provided the following
notes;-
"Albert Wood's death was registered in the Middlesbrough RD during the
Sept., Qtr., 1918 age 43.
An Albert Wood was born in the Middlesbrough RD during the March Qtr., 1876;
son of Michael (b1847 Louth) and Ada Wood (b1847 Stanningley). Although this
points to a small discrepancy in his stated age when he died, this is the
only boy with his name born in the District around that time.
In 1871 the family (minus Albert of course) was living at Brick Fields, Stranton
with children, William Henry (b1868 West Hartlepool) John Edward (b1869 Wallsend)
and Ruth Hannah (b1871 Stranton d1871).
In 1881 the family (incl., Albert now) was living at 72 East St., Middlesbrough
with, in addition, Mary Ann (b1873 West Hartlepool) Ada (b1878 Middlesbrough)
and Grace (b1880 Middlesbrough).
In 1891 the family (still intact as 1881) was living at 13 Kings Road, Ormesby
with, in addition, Peter (b 1882 Middlesbrough) and Ruth (b1884 Middlesbrough).
Albert's mother died towards the end of 1895 and approximately 12 months later his father married a Lydia Sparkes who already had a son, William Sparkes. In 1901 the three of them (Michael & Lydia Wood plus William Sparkes) were living at 26 Coltman Street, Ormesby. Albert Wood meantime, was boarding with a family called Wharton at 52 Marton Road, Middlesbrough.
Albert married Edith Wharton (daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Wharton with whom Albert was boarding) in the Middlesbrough RD during the Sept., Qtr., 1901.
In 1911, Albert and Edith were living at 20 Blake Street, Middlesbrough with daughter, Ada (b1904 Middlesbrough), and son, Robert (b1910 Middlesbrough).
Blake Street is now cleared but was located off Marton Road somewhere near Wood Street, part of which still exists.
I asked Carole Davies of the Middlesbrough Bereavement Services as to whether they had a record of Albert Wood's burial.
Carole Davies replied saying that there is an Albert Wood age 43 buried in Linthorpe Cemetery Grave No 9469A. Carole sent me a plan showing the location of his grave. Unfortunately, MBS do not have a record of any headstone."
