The only LORD burial at Halifax parish church between 1854 & 1937 is

29 Oct. 1854 James Lord of Northowram age 39

but burials at the parish church effectively finished in 1861. I can only guess that your John was buried at a different church or graveyard.

Sorry not much help!

Hi Aussieshirl

Sarah MCNANLEY is living at 345 Deansgate(where ever that is?) in 1882 and 1884 and her occupation is given as a clothes dealer.

Deansgate it one of the main streets in Manchester city centre (there are probably others)

Hi Jaki

You can also obtain them from the General register office (GRO). Their web page has more info http://www.statistics.gov.uk/registration/general_register.asp

unfortunately being from overseas you wont be able to order them using their new online service.
It will cost you more through GRO than through the local register offices £8.50 sterling as opposed to £7.50 at the local office (well it is at mine anyway I don't know if they vary their charges). The only advantage with the general register office I have found is that they accept credit cards which some of the smaller local offices don't.

The certificates from GRO seem to be computer printed onto a certificate from a scan of the records whereas from my local register office they are a handwritten copy made by the clerks and are a lot easier to read. I know I'm probably strange but the handwritten certificates also seem more authentic to me and have more a feel of the past.

Told you I was strange!

For me I'd use the local offices wherever possible but as they say. The choice is yours
