I've actually found quite a few burials from her family on there in Irlam.
I'm pretty sure St John the Baptist is grassed over though

Thanks again!!

Thanks for that I had no clue of where to look in the Rochdale area.

James parents were

John Russell- Born 1816 Died 1849
Hannah Pope- Born 1813 Died 1851

I think I will have to order that marriage certificate for James Russell and Anne Noyce and see if the details match.

Thanks for the help

I don't know if anyone can help me.

James Russell was born 1834 in West Wellow in Wiltshire
I have him in the 1841, 1851 & 1861 census' in Wiltshire.
Then I have him marrying Ann Devonport in 1876 in Barton Upon Irwell and then marrying Eliza Russell in 1879 in Rochdale.
Then I have him in the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 census in Rochdale.
The his death in 1914 in Rochdale

I can't find him in 1871 census and on his marriage certificate to Ann it says he is a widower.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to his frst marriage and finding him in the 1871 census

Cheers

The Worsley workhouse at Hazelhurst opened  December 1778
It was situated at the junction of Hazelhurst Road and Moorisde Road.
In 1850 after a report about the condition of the Hazelhurst workhouse to the Guardians, it was recommended that no more paupers were to be sent there. 
There were still references to paupers being at the workhouse as late as 1855 in the Guardian minute books.
The Workhouse building was sold by auction at the White Horse Inn in August 1857. The proceeds, amounting to £560, were used to pay off Worsley's share of a government loan for building the new unioin workhouse at Patricroft.

Thats just a quick overview about the workhouse from the book, it goes into alot more detail but if theres any more info you need let me know
