I don't think that St Paul's has a grave yard

I've just asked my head teacher (i work in a school).  That is her church and she said that there is a graveyard but only one grave there and no one knows who it is! Weird or what?

Forenames:Ellen

But as someone said, Genuki says this church does not have a graveyard, which is weird that it says Burial Place.

The local council has a habit of allowing the graveyards to be  "cleared" . One of the latest was Christ Church where 300 bodies were removed to make way for a community centrer.

Check with Tameside Local History as to the records held:

I have already checked the records in the Archives centre. 

I thought that the service might have been held in the newly built St Peter's and then the burial elsewhere.

Looking on the 1874 Town Plan for Stalybridge,there was a burial ground at St Peters!
Looking on google street view, the churchyard has been grassed over. There is no sign of any stones.

This still doesn't help to find the grave for James as St Peter's wasn't built at the time when Madeira066 thinks he died

Hi All.
Thank you all for your help with this post.
I am going to assume thet Ellen who died in 1854 was buried at St Peters RC Church Stalybridge, It is possible that her husband James could have been buried at St Mary's RC Church Dukinfield where I believe there were interments from 1823. Once again many thanks.
Dave.
