To Boongie Pam, Criggie, Bel-jon68

I would like to thank you all for your input and suggestions to my queries. The consesus of opinion seems to be to look into the original parish records re burials to try and unravel this mystery. I am sorry if I have bored anyone to tears with my Joseph, Mary, Benjamin Travis saga but I am determined to crack this nut even if I go completely nuts in the process.

regards

Not boring at all!  Let us know how you get on.

Good luck with your search.  I have found this on the Lancashire Parish & Probate Records - don't know if it's your Joseph and Benjamin?

Lancashire: Ashton-under-Lyne, Blackley, & Chorley - Registers of St. Peter's, Ashton-under-Lyne; St. Peter's Blackley; and St. Lawrence's Chorley
Burials    
   1836  
County: Lancashire  
Country: England  
24 Jul 1836 Joseph s. Benjamin Travis, AUL, 2w.

I know my Travis family were not living in AUL until 1850 so I don't think the burial of Joseph s of Benjamin 1836 is linked.

Where did you access the Lancashire Parish & Probate Records as this may be useful to me?

Thanks

If you subscribe to ancestry.com, you can access the records online but I don't know how complete or reliable they are.  On Rootschat there have been many debates about the merits or otherwise of ancestry.com - if you're not a subscriber, I'd have a look at what other people have said before deciding whether to sign up.  I'm cancelling my sub shortly as I won't be able to spend much time doing family history research after the summer.
