Hi, I have a Thomas Massey who died on the 1st April 1882, in a drowning accident, aged 9, he was baptised on the 6th July 1873 at St John's church, Irlam and in the 1881 census the family were living on Heyes Rd, Cadishead, however I can't seem to find where he was buried, does anyone who may know the area suggest where I can try?, Any help much appreciated, Jean.

Hi thank you for your replies, I have the death certificate which stated an inquest was held and a verdict of accidental death was recorded.My Mum thinks there was some argument about their faith, the family belonged to the Catholic church, but somewhere along the line became Prodestant, do you know what churches are around the area, I could check? .

Have you checked his fathers grave details he was buried from Cadishead and so was his mother

Hi, thanks for the reply, his father, David and mother, Mary Ann, were both buried at St John's church in Irlam, they were also married there, I really thought Thomas would have as well, best wishes, Jean.
