Hi, I have a brickwall with Joshua Etherington and his Family.
He died in 1768 in Birstall and I can’t find a church that actually buried him. Any info would be fantastic. He married a Hannah Craven in 1730 in Birstall and I am unable to find her final resting place also.

Joshua Etherington of Drighlington was buried 26 Aug 1768, from the Parish Register of Birstall.
-
The same register has Hannah Etherington of Drighlington buried 17 Nov 1789

Many thanks 👍 no location of the church they were buried in though
-
Just to add to Jo's responses. Images of the parish register entries (St Peter, Birstall) are available on Ancestry. Hannah's burial indicates that she was a widow.
-
Both Birstall and Drighlington are near Leeds and therefore in West Yorkshire. This may help with further searches.
