The Common Room / First, Second and Third Class Burials Re: Weaste Cemetery Salford
« on: Thursday 13 January 22 15:11 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can assist me in this matter.

I came across an ancestor of mine buried in Weaste Cemetery, Salford during 1880 in what is described in the Cemetery Register book as a 1st Class Burial. He was the last person to be buried in the grave which contains four other bodies, all of whom are non relatives.

Other burials described on the same Register book page are Common , 2nd Class and 3rd Class. I understand what a Common grave is but am confused about the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class burials.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Whereabouts of McIntyre's Court in Manchester 1860's
« on: Sunday 03 January 21 13:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows of the exact whereabouts of a place called McIntyres Court in the Ancoats district of Manchester, which featured on the 1861 Census.

I have been researching the life of an ancestor who had the unenviable job of a 'Night Soil' man who emptied the earth privies. He died in New Bridge Workhouse of Consumption in 1868 aged just 44 and his last known address was  McIntyre's Court. I know it was quite near Poland St, off Oldham Rd but would absolutely love to know the exact location. I would also be grateful for any information concerning the state of these Courtyard dwellings, which I should imagine were associated with great poverty
Thank You

Family History Beginners Board / First Posting. Looking for information on William and Martha Leigh (nee. Lane)
« on: Thursday 18 October 18 19:15 BST (UK)  »
Hello Everyone, I am new to the site. I am looking for further information on my ggggrandparents William and Martha Leigh (nee;Lane) who married in Manchester in 1815. They had two children, Samuel in 1820 and Elizabeth in 1824. (Samuel is my gggrandfather)

William appears to have abandoned his wife before possibly turning up in Leyland near Preston were he is shown on the 1841 Census, but cant be sure its the correct William. I am eager to prove the link and equally keen to establish what happened to Martha Leigh. (her last known reference was living alone in Poland St Ancoats Manchester in 1830).

Samuel definately moved to Preston after 1841 and married Rachel Webster there in 1849.

Any help to solve the mystery of William would be appreciated. I have been trying to solve this for 20 years. An old family story indicated he may have been involved in the "Peterloo Massacre" in 1819.. He was a Handloom Weaver
