Title: St Catherine's graveyard, Barton On Irwell
Post by: Berrie on Saturday 09 February 13 13:25 GMT (UK)

I have just discovered that my great grandfather was buried in this graveyard in 1890. I have a copy of the church burial record. Where would I find records for the graveyard, grave numbers, plan of the grave yard etc?

Hi Berrie

There is some information about parish records here

http://www.salford.gov.uk/parishregisters.htm

You will need to contact Manchester Archives as it seems the church closed in 1973

Their holdings are here
