Title: MI's in Ashton In Makerfield Query
Post by: MUMMYG on Friday 20 March 20 14:48 GMT (UK)

Can someone tell me the difference between these two sets of records please? I'm looking for two graves for surname WARD, one in 1897 and one between 1844 and 1873. Are they the same and one is just a later date or do I need both sets?

M.I.s St Thomas's Church Graveyard; Warrington Road; Ashton-in-Makerfield

St Thomas's Church Monumental Inscriptions; Lower Ground; Heath Road.1893-2007

As far as I can make out the first CD covers the original graveyard and the second the extension to the graveyard. Presumably the extension was necessary when the original graveyard was full.

Thanks :) I had the Elias one but not the other. What I'm really looking for is the MI to see who else is there and the grave location.
I didn't understand why 2 CDs but the answer from Gibel explains, why didn't I see that? Duh! Thanks all.
