My great grandfather William Hollins died in Stretford on 15th February 1890. He was living at 27 Lostock Road when he died. He wasn't buried in a local authority cemetery so I think he may have been buried in the graveyard of a local church. Can anyone tell me which churches had graveyards in Stretford?

Thnak you for your reply. I have paid for a search of burial records so I do know my great grandfather isn't in a local authority cemetery. I shall have to search the church records.

Thanks for the offer but my great grandfather isn't buried in the local authority graveyard. I think he must be buried in a local churchyard so I'll have to check church records for the area.

if you need anyone to go to the church to look let me know

From what I remember Lostock Road is in the Davyhulme, Urmston part of Trafford - the road goes under the M60 and stops at the roundabout just before Trafford General Hospital where the cinema was/is.
The only church I know (there are others) in Stretford is St. Matthews - that has a graveyard and it's next to the Arndale Centre.
There's a graveyard at St Michael Flixton - it's about 2 miles from Lostock Rd

I checked the Manchester burial records and he isn't in the Local Authority Cemeteries. I think St Matthews, Stretford has a graveyard and St Clements. Urmston. Manchester Archives have burial records for those churches so I'll try there. Not sure if any other Stretford/Urmston churches have graveyards. Thanks for your help.

I am new to the forum and have an interest in Lostock as my family farmed there for many years. I looked up William Hollins on the Lancs Parish Register Barton upon Irwell and he is buried at St Catherines Barton upon Irwell. The church has long gone but the graveyard is still there but very neglected.

The burial for William can be seen online at.

it's a free to view site and you will perhaps find more members of your family on there.
