1869 Salford - likely burial place - Church or municipal?

Hi Folks

Agecroft will do a free one name lookup, but if you want the list of people buried they charge £10, thats what happened to me.
Mike is right about Blackley, room, books all free.

Just had another thought. I am in a similar situation with a relative who died in 1915 near Langworthy Road. I assumed she would be buried in Weaste or Agecroft. Agecroft did a search for me but didn't find her (I had the death date so it was straightforward). They suggested trying the Family History dept at Salford Museum (on the Crescent), so that might be something for you to try.

If you look at maps of Salford at that time there were many churches with grave land that are just not there anymore, but apparently the musuem has indexes. I haven't been yet though. The guy you need is Tim Ashcroft, he's very helpful.

Hi there,
 If your ancestors were catholic try St Josephs cemetery Moston Lane North manchester. I had Salford ancestors that I found there as apparently that was where many Salford residents went when deceased. I can't find the number, sorry, but I recall the gentleman at the other end being very helpful with the plot number and other occupants etc. There was I am sure some project underway to index the burials there. The MLFHS may be able to help with that.

Thanks for the suggestion midmum. I always assumed they were CofE or Non-conformist, but I realise I don't know for certain what denomination they were, so it might be worth a try.

Mike and Ken - sorry, I missed your replies at the time they were posted - also good suggestions.

Hi skb

Same offer as before - I live round the corner from St Josephs so if you need help/pic's etc lets me know.

Hi There,
             you could try this. Do Google search for SALFORD Geneaolgy,

You should come up with a Salford site called Salford Roots.

nothing to do with this site.Or MANchester 2003.Both these are good sites.

It has a list of all the churches and burials of Salford from all salford/Greengate

etc.

Burials & baptisms are also listed from 1800.s  ALso  since 1974 a lot of the surrounding areas wwere amalgamated and now come under SAlford.

AS do Eccles etc.

The Eccles PArish Church graveyard was grassed over in 1966.

They stopped all burials there  in 1953.SOme of my relations were the last to be intered in that church yard.

All interments then were done at PEEL GREEN Cemetry In Peelgreen ECCLES.


Hope this is of some help to you.


Regards Ecclescake.

Hi SKB,
Catholic or Anglican?
Came across a website today to do with Catholic, Haven't got the details here but can forward from work, if Catholic? i typed in "Salford Diocese" into search engine and found family history link, it wasn't much use for me, but might help you.

best wishes

Thanks again all.

I still feel they were probably Anglican or Methodist, but I'll keep the details for Catholic burials for when I've exhausted current possibilties.
