Thanks jonw65 we nearly didn't find it, the grave was way further back than we thought. It would be nice to have some markers to help locate graves. Regards Anne

Hi Michelew, Your very welcome glad I could help you. The journey from Widnes to Rochdale sounds long and costly when passes don't cover train as well as buses. Glad the photo was helpful in your research and if you need anymore help you can message me and if I can I will.  This is a really good place to get answers, everyone is so helpful. Regards Anne

Hi Michelew, We went to Rochdale cemetery, we searched all over Sq R but we couldn't find Charles and Sophia's Grave. Most of the graves have no number and a lot of them are in poor condition.  But right at the end we found Florence and John Henry Bottomley's grave. Hopefully I can upload it now for you. Anne   
Sorry I'm having issues uploading the photo, I've tried resizing it but it won't upload.

jonw65 I had no idea Family search had the registers for graves. Do you know what years they have? I have about 5 family graves in Rochdale Cemetery. My mum and dad are buried very close to 23176 so it won't be a wasted journey.
THanks Anne

Hi Michelew, I am hoping to go up this weekend and I have looked on the map the grave is very close to my family grave. Is it a big stone any noticeable features?  I went up a few months back looking for another family grave.  I had all the details but I was going round in circles trying to find it Its not always possible to read the grave number.  I shall try my best to find it and take a photo.  Anne.

I had a walk down this afternoon, the houses on the right of Peel Lane are odd numbers and number 39 is the last of a terraced row. Then sheltered accommodation was built were the other houses stood. peel lane is mostly Council houses. Bamford Rd Primary School was one of the closest schools to Peel Lane sadly that got pulled down several years ago. Anne

Hi AureliaSB,  I live in Heywood very close to Peel Lane, number 3 would be at the bottom end of peel lane, it divides into George st and Peel Lane into Bank Top st.  Our local history group should be able to help https://www.heywoodtown.co.uk/history-of-heywood#!

Thanks Karen, that is a consolation I was half way there. They will definitely be visiting the area . wilf will be 70 very soon and cousin Karen was going to surprise him, but he found out and was thrilled about the trip. Wilf stayed with his Granny and Grandad Hess until he  was 6yrs old, so this will be a trip of memories for him even though he was a small child. Once again thank you so much for your kindness Karen and I shall send you an update when they return. Kind Regards Anne
