2 children I know of
Esther Collins 1792
Abraham Collins 1796 - direct ancestor 4 x G Grandfather

Cheshire / St Mary Magdelene church Broadbottom
« on: Friday 11 June 21 11:23 BST (UK)  »
Hiya
A little local help needed please
Broadbottom - St Mary Magdalene Church opened 1889 - my Grandmother Martha Walker was baptised there 2nd November 1893 - so the church was only 4 years old ..I am in my 70's and have decided I would like to go to this church and have a look around .
so
Is it still there - all I can find is "The Magdalene Centre "
is there a Graveyard there where I might find some of my Walker Ancestors buried there ?

thanks for reading - any advice gratefully received  :)
