larkspur said that no burial was recorded for Daniel Diggle, but this extract from his confession shows that he clearly expected to be buried there:
"I would exhort with the earnestness of a dying man, not only my immediate companions, but all who have been engaged in Luddism, to break off from practices, which only involve themselves, and others, in trouble and ruin. When they observe a young man just 21 years of age, and who has only been married about as many weeks, brought to the scaffold, by those very practices—when they see the anguish of my afflicted wife and parents—when they pass by the church-yard of Basford, and observe the graves of Bamford, Towle, and myself—"
Was his burial not recorded because of the manner of his death, or was he buried elsewhere, perhaps in unconsecrated ground?
regards,
Lesley
