I recently located details on Lancs OPC website (http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Rossendale/Stacksteads/waterbarn/graves_1847-2012.html) of a grave at the above church in which are buried members of Tattersall (Elizabeth, Sarah and Ada)and Yeadon (Margaret and Thomas) families. Any further information would be very much appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Shelley in Western Australia.

The transcriptions are most probably as much information there is as to the names, ages, abodes and dates of burial.
What else might you be looking for?
For Thomas & Margaret Yeadon, you could cross reference with the 1881 and previous censuses.

Thanks. I thought there might be details of the inscriptions on the grave, such as parents names for the children, as I think they are the grandchildren of the adults buried in that grave, but I previously only knew about the eldest child. Any idea if/where I might be able to find out? I have all the census records of they Yeadons but the Tattersall children (apart from Elizabeth) do not appear on any census records as they died too young.

Looking at the site, the lady who did the parish register transcriptions photographed all the remaining memorials, maybe ask how to get in touch with her?
