Hello,
Daniel Butterworth died 29 January 1885 at the age of 26. His wife, Rachel purchased a grave in Chadderton Cemetery ... it looks like G8.41 (I can send via e-mail an image of her purchase receipt). I have learned from Oldham Crematorium (holds the records) that 3 children who died between 1887 & 1892 are buried with Daniel. They want 22 pounds to reveal who else is buried with him.
So, I am hoping that someone might either have MIs for the cemetery (I have checked internment.net for the cemetery and Daniel is not listed ... maybe it is a grave with no headstone) or could check this grave location and take a photo of either the "space" or monument there.
Thanks much,
Diane :-)

BTW ... Daniel's wife, Rachel remarried in 1886, to Henry Hicklin. I suspect that the children buried with Daniel might have a surname of Hicklin ... basically, children from Rachel's 2nd marriage ...

Hi Diane
I have never been to Chaddy Cemetery so I dont know how it is layed out or if it has an office on site to check the burial register, but let me see what I can find out for you.
I will send you a PM with my email address.

Hi Diane
Sorry to say the headstone is missing. With most of the stones missing and most of the rest not having grave numbers cut in them an exact location is impossible. The photos sent Cover most of G section, apart from the bit I missed
