Title: All Saints, Mobberley?
Post by: Mickleover on Saturday 17 October 15 08:31 BST (UK)

Hi,
According to FamilySearch, Cheshire BTs record the burial of Hannah Attenbury on the 11th August 1859 at All Saints, Mobberley. But, so far as I can determine, there is only St. Wilfred's in Mobberley. Can anyone help locate this church please?

Regards,

Ian

The image on FindMyPast, from the BTs, for the burial of Hannah ATTENBOROUGH just states the Parish Church of Mobberley and going backwards I can't seem to find a name for the church.  Hannah is also said to have had her abode in Chorley, and to be 23 years old.

St Wilfrid's was "an ancient parish church, originally serving the township of Mobberley".

Thanks for the prompt responses.
The death was recorded in the district of Macclesfield and in the 1861 census, Hannah's husband and son were at Great Warford. Her son, also born in 1859, has his birth town record as Great Warford. (Ref: RG9 2587/37/P7)

Thanks for everyone's help.

I think we have established that the burial took place at St. Wilfred's and that the FamilySearch reference is incorrect as it refers to the All Saints chapel at Micklehurst, which also has some entries on the same microfilm.

Thanks for the clarification.

Visit this website www.ollertonwithmarthall.org.uk/church.htm this is probably the burial church of Hannah Attenbury. Great Warford is situated between Marthall and Mobberley.

No wonder you cite the BT! The entry for Hannah has been badly mistranscribed from the parish registers for Mobberley. In the FindMyPast index she's under Hannah A Henboraugh... ???
The PR info is basically the same as in the BTs, except that the BTs say 'in the parish of Mobberley' whereas the PR says 'in Mobberley church'. And yes, it's St Wilfrid.
Information on Genuki can be quite handy when sorting out which churches were what and when.
