Hi Margaret,
If he died after 1837, probably the only way to get at least a decent estimation of his age at death would be on the death registration.? The GRO are now offering instant digital images of births up to 1922 and deaths up to 1887 for ?2.50, so probably worth a punt on finding the right death.? You'll need to sign in, then go to 'Order a digital image'

Hi Lesley,
Yes have tried all your suggestions. I have written to St. Margarets Church, but have had no reply.
I realise after all this time, there wouldn¡¯t be anything left on the headstones, but would like to see if
I could find records. I have a record of their burial from Find My Past, but trying to find how old
David was when he died as trying to find his birth. Dont have his parents. I have his marriage and it
was in Guiseley and says both of this parish, so I assume he was born somewhere else as cant find
any birth in Guiseley records for him.

Hi Maureen,
Have you tried the usual sources for burials? Family Search, Find My Past, Ancestry etc? They all have Yorkshire burials listed. Find a Grave has a few listings for the Peace Garden.
GenUKi might be helpful too, as would contacting someone at the current St Margaret's Church, which replaced the old chapel. The records were probably passed on to them when the 'Old Bell Tower' (the local name for the chapel) was closed.

Hi Listers,
I am looking for grave sites in the Horsforth Peace Garden as this was the old St.Margaret¡¯s Chapel. I have two ancestors buried there and would like to know how to
find out if there is a record of burials I could look at and who to contact regarding this.
