Topic: 1869 Salford - likely burial place - Church or municipal? (Read 496 times)

I'm trying to find the burial place of one of my ancestors, in the hope that several other family members may be buried with him.
He lived at various addresses in the Blackfriars/Greengate/Chapel St area of Salford and died in 1869 in Salford Dispensary
On a flying visit to Manchester Central Library, I searched (unsuccessfully) the burial registers for St Phillips and Christ Church.
So my question is...
is there another church burial ground he could be in, or is he more likely to be in Weaste Cemetery (which opened in 1857)?
There seemed to be very few burials at the 2 churches I looked at, during the 2nd half of the 19th century. Did most people go to the Municipal cemeteries at that time?
(I don't mind paying for a grave search, but I'd like to think I had a good chance of getting a result.)

Why not give Weaste Cemetery a ring? I did that with Southern Cemetery, Manchester and they were really helpful - not only gave me the location of the grave, but told me who else was buried there, who had paid for it, and that there was no headstone!
http://www.salford.gov.uk/weastecemetery
I've just checked this site - and it seems they charge now - you have probably been there ...! However, you could always try anyway .......

Yes, it can be very useful to have a grave serach. I had one done on another set of ancestors, and discovered an extra person there who wasn't listed on the headstone.
I think what I really need to know is whether there was a reason they might have chosen a cemetery rather than a church.
Was it cheaper?
Were all the churchyards full?
Was there a new law regarding burials?
I've also read about some scandal in Salford around that time concerning a churchyard being dug up and built over (possibly King St?)

Ken, that would be great if I actually knew where the grave was. (I'm sure people on this site must think I have a Weaste Cemetery fixation  )
Do you visit regularly, if I ever do find them?
(Maybe you've got a Weaste Cemetery fixation, too )

Mike,
I didn't know that, so it is all useful information - although I don't get to Salford very often these days.
Thanks.

Hi Folks
Agecroft will do a free one name lookup, but if you want the list of people buried they charge £10, thats what happened to me.
Mike is right about Blackley, room, books all free.
Regards
Ken

Hi there,
If your ancestors were catholic try St Josephs cemetery Moston Lane North manchester. I had Salford ancestors that I found there as apparently that was where many Salford residents went when deceased. I can't find the number, sorry, but I recall the gentleman at the other end being very helpful with the plot number and other occupants etc. There was I am sure some project underway to index the burials there. The MLFHS may be able to help with that.

Thanks for the suggestion midmum. I always assumed they were CofE or Non-conformist, but I realise I don't know for certain what denomination they were, so it might be worth a try.
Mike and Ken - sorry, I missed your replies at the time they were posted - also good suggestions.

Hi There,
you could try this. Do Google search for SALFORD Geneaolgy,
You should come up with a Salford site called Salford Roots.
nothing to do with this site.Or MANchester 2003.Both these are good sites.
It has a list of all the churches and burials of Salford from all salford/Greengate
etc.
Burials & baptisms are also listed from 1800.s ALso since 1974 a lot of the surrounding areas wwere amalgamated and now come under SAlford.
AS do Eccles etc.
The Eccles PArish Church graveyard was grassed over in 1966.
They stopped all burials there in 1953.SOme of my relations were the last to be intered in that church yard.
All interments then were done at PEEL GREEN Cemetry In Peelgreen ECCLES.
Hope this is of some help to you.
Regards Ecclescake.
