Title: cemetery for the parish of Stretford
Post by: ssmmac on Friday 05 March 21 11:03 GMT (UK)

I have a scan of a burial register from deceased online and the heading says "Register of burials in the cemetery, provided under the act 42 & 43 Vict, cap 31, for the parish of Stretford."

Stretford is handwritten, the rest is preprinted.

Would that be for the Stretford Cemetery? On Lime Road, Stretford, Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, Greater Manchester, M32 8HX England.

Or could it be for another cemetery in the parish?

According to the Deceased Online site these records are from Trafford Council and the description in the coverage section says

Stretford Cemetery, Lime Road, Stretford, Manchester M32 8HX

Thanks.

I wasn't sure since the webpage I found says "Within the borough of Trafford there is a Crematorium and 5 cemeteries" and lists them. One is Stretford cemetery, but I was worried the register was possibly parish based.

Its always a good idea to check things we aren't sure about, pleased I could help.

Just in case you didn't spot it on the Trafford website, they have a section map of the cemetery

If ever you want to visit, that would help a lot in locating where the grave is.
