Thanks. Not the answer I was hoping for. I was hoping/assuming Grt Newton St was in the Ancoats area. Newton Heath throws a spanner in the works.

I think I've been down this road before ( pardon the pun) and I think I found this map at the time.

I think I'll have to look at some directories next time I'm at Central Library. The address I've got in 1806 is Cropper's Buildings, Gt Newton St. Man

Thanks, Eric

Can anyone tell me where 'Great Newton Street' was in 1806 and am I correct in thinking that 'Newton Lane' in late 1700's was the now Oldham Rd?

Regards, Eric

The possibilities could be endless. One burial in that Grave at that particular time or the section of the Burial Ground?

The main thing is that I've established that it denotes the Grave and I know who purchased the Grave, which has helped me, possibly, to move on with this particular family.

Thanks, Eric

Thanks. I've found a few more burials, presumably for the same family and all mention the same Grave. I also found the burial when the Grave was purchased. The Grave No. is on the left, circled and a note to say who purchased the Grave. The subsequent entries are written at the end of the entry.

I thought the top number may have been the 1st , 2nd & c person in the Grave but all seem to have a 1 at the top.

Now I've solved that I need to find out if I've got the correct family.

Regards, Eric.

Thanks Heywood. I read a similar article that referenced the Free Burials which made me think that the family I'm interested in were buried there for that reason, yet they appear to have had a Family Grave.
 I haven't found a Salford connection yet and the children that were buried there appear to have been christened at the Cathedral, so Maybe there was another reason.

Then there is a strong possibility that I've got the wrong family. Regards, Eric.

The Graves with Numbers seem to vary page by page. On some of the pages I've looked at, most of the entries appear to have a Grave No. However, some burials appear to have been in 'Common Ground' and are shown as such. I guessed that those without a Grave No. were similar burials.

A lot may have been dependant on who was making the entries

Many thanks for that. Seems to be a definite answer.

I thought that would be the case as I have found a few burials that appear to be members of the same family. However, when I looked for the Grave in 'Owens' MI's, the numbers in his list don't match up with the numbers in the Burial Register.

Maybe someone can offer an explanation.

Many thanks, Eric

Thanks.

I've come across the cause of death at quite a few places....St George, Hulme & Ardwick Cem. & others. Makes interesting reading.

In the Burial Registers for the above church, certainly in 1820/30's, most entries have a numerical annotation at the end of the entry eg 1/453. Does anyone know for certain if they are Grave numbers?

Hopefully, I've attached part of an entry with the numbers circled.

Regards, Eric
