Title: Burial Register Entries
Post by: HOWMUCH on Saturday 20 December 14 15:54 GMT (UK)
Hello
Would there be a simple explanation for the following two entries found on Lancs OPC.
burial of a Joseph WILKINSON on 25 February 1838 at st Peters, Bolton . Age 35 yrs.
Abode:Halliwell.

and burial of a Joseph WILKINSON at Holy Trinity,Bolton on same date,same age and same abode.
Two separate burial register entries.
Is this likely to be coincidence?
many thanks
Eric

I can see no burial entry for a Joseph Wilkinson at http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Bolton-le-Moors/Great-Bolton/stpeter/index.html

Stan, I have just looked at the link you give, and the burial is definitely there, St Peter's Bolton, on the 25th February 1838, Joseph Wilkinson, abode Halliwell  :-\

I notice that on the Holy Trinity records on LancashireOPC before 1844 it does not show 'buried by'
Maybe they only had the service at Holy Trinity then buried them at St Peters.  Holy Trinity was apparently built 1826

The St Peter's record shows 'buried by A. Hadfield, Trinity'  :-\

I think we have the answer there.  :)

I have looked at quite a few other burials for HT and found them duplicated in St Peters with buried by A Hadfield, Trinity
