Just received a death cert and the adress is Lane Head, Altham, Lancs however the GRO states Burnley Union. Anyone know of a Lane Head ?

The Civil Parish of Altham fell within the Registration District of Burnley from 1837 - 1936

This has Lanehead as an area rather than a specific address -

What period are you talking about?
