Hi all
When searching, I found this website from Lancashire Family History
https://www.lfhhs.org/lfhhs_org_uk_archive_2016/wartonstoswald.htm (https://www.lfhhs.org/lfhhs_org_uk_archive_2016/wartonstoswald.htm)
However, there seem to be no lins to phots - are they behind a paywall?!
Cheers

I don't know this link, but if you are interested in the MIs at Warton St. Oswald, I can tell you that the Lancaster & District Family History Group have published a complete survey of the MIS there (as they have most of north Lancs). Available from them for about £10. If like me you have many relatives buried there it would be worth buying a copy.
Happy hunting
Ian

I suspect that you may have to be a member of LFHHS to access the images

Thanks - will check into LFHHS!

Do let me know how you get on as it also applies to some of the parishes I am interested in up there.

St Oswald Warton can be found on Lancashire Online Parish Clerk and it's free.
lan-opc.org.uk

Yes indeed - LAN-OPC is great!

I agree that Lancs OPC is brilliant but they do not do memorial inscriptions. I have a few parishes on fiche but sadly not this one and certainly no photos. Have you tried findagrave for that parish.

Hi Rosie
To be fair, LAN-OPC is created from parish registers so no memorial inscriptions. I'm trying to create a FAG memorial for every entry in LAN_OPC for my family. I check the photos they said they had at LFHHS and there was only one not on FAG so I'm not worried about that. I like building famiy relations in FAG :)

On the face of it - St Oswalds at Warton is included on the website;
Gravestone Photographic Resource;
https://www.gravestonephotos.com/search/cemetery.php?cemetery=&location=warton&county=lancashire&search=Cemetery
However I think you may need to search it by name to see the gravestone. It's free to obtain a 'proper' image as far as I can remember.
Certainly I have found gravestones for different locations on there and all the organiser wants is a note of 'thank you'.
That's a while ago though.

Hi Pennines
Thanks for reminding me of this site - must be 10 years since I looked at it and I've found some interesting stuff on it, including a relative who's mentioned on two gravestones!
Regards

Oh Towthorpe - I could not be more pleased. Like you - it's ages since I've used it and was thrilled when I found St Oswald's, Warton on there.
There are huge cemeteries on it as well.
Thank you for your message.

Hi all - hope it's okay to keep this thread going...!! Here's one burial entry for St Os that I cannot find any birth/death/census entries for....from the glorious LAN-OPC:
Burial: 13 Jun 1857 St Oswald, Warton Nr Lancaster, Lancashire
Richard Cock -
Age: 8
Abode: Carnforth
Buried By: Thomas Dean, Vicar
Register: Burials 1813 - 1863, Page 181, Entry 1441
Source: Film 1849663
Many thanks

I am wondering if it's a mistranscription of the surname 'Cook' - but having said that - I can find a couple in Cumberland in 1851 of the correct age - but checking those parents in 1861 - they are not in Carnforth.
So this message is of no help whatsoever (sorry) -- but I have searched, sadly to no avail.
-
Thanks Pennines - I am a Cock as it were and I've seen lots of sources where Cock is transcribed as Cook but it's reassuring to hear you are alos struggling :)
Cheers
