Have you looked in the National Burial Register ?
If you could give us a rough time span of when he died and when he was born we may be able to find the burial.

Hi Amber,no i have not heard of the burial register before,can i view it on-line?
Robert Jones Whitworth was born abt 1817 Ashton-u-Lyne,lived there all his life,as far as i can tell,died abt 1868 reg of death Cheshire,if thats any help,kind regards Lisaxxx

I have just looked at the NBR but unfortunately there is no Robert Jones Whitworth or any Robert Whitworth listed for 10years on either side of 1868. So sorry.
The register is not as yet on line I bought the disks (4) and have found them very useful more especially with 1700 and early 1800s.
Hope some kind Roots Chatter from Cheshire may be able to help.

Hi Peggytoof
I have a lot of 'Jones' Whitworths in our family tree including William Jones Whitworth born 1843 Aston under Lyne. I cannot help with the burial but our William Jones Whitworth is buried in Bury Cemetery in 1894 along with his wife Mary Jane nee Blackburn. There are two children of his mentioned as being born in Ashton - Mary Louise and Beatrice Annie Jones. Maybe they are related to you. I believe William's son, Reginald, used to live in Summerseat.

Hi Lisa
I was excited to get you email too.
Yes it should have been Mary Jane Garside - born in Blackburn - sorry a senior moment!
I am new to this Genes Reunited lark and, at the moment, am only a free member. I have not yet put our tree on the web. I am having protracted discussions with family members who are against the idea so it is a case of 'watch this space' I think. Fingers crossed I win. I tried to find you on Genes but have not had any luck - I am not very good at computers though so it is probably my fault. Reginald Jones Whitworth was my husband's Gt Uncle. We were told he had 17 children but I do not know if that is correct. We have him on the 1901 Census living in Cram st, Bury, aged 25 living with wife Susannah (22) and daughter Lily (9m). Also in the household is Thomas Baker (18) and Harry Baker (7) Brothers in law to Reginald.
Unfortunately we do not live in Lancashire any longer but we are still firm Lancastrians.
