David - I have a list of plot numbers for St Chads but it only gives the last name.  If you let me know what names you're looking for I can have a look for you?

Hi Sandra,

Thanks very much for the offer - I am looking for the surname Rigg, mid-1800s or thereabouts.

Regards,

I've had a look through the list but that name isn't on.  There are quite a few parish plots and some without names, so maybe your Riggs are buried in one of those?

I believe the records for St Chads are now at Oldham so you may be better to post your question on the Lancashire page.

Good luck
Sandra

If you give me a better description of exactly what you are looking for e.g. full names and whether B/M/D I will try to help, but I can't guarantee a timescale.
