Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Look-up...OLDHAM (GREENACRES) CEMETERY
« on: Sunday 16 December 12 17:43 GMT (UK)  »
This grave was purchased by Margaret Travis - 5th April 1939 - address is blanked out

and contains 4 burials

Sorry no names, have not been wrote into the books

1/ 5th April 1939 aged 82
2/ 4th May 1940 aged 37
3/ 6th June 1950 aged 85
4/ 25th Feb 1956 aged 66 

From Jan 1939 to April 1993 all the registers are missing - as for the grave location it should not be to hard to find as it is running against a boundary wall next to Clarksefield Street according to the plot plan, if any Oldhamers feel the need to help Mark

The burial record for Bernard Dunn shows a number of people in the same grave.

Is this a paupers grave. Is it possible that there could be a inscription/stone for this grave.

J.d.

Hi J.D.

Yes it is a paupers grave, they only inscription would be name, date of death and possible age.

I cannot get to PP just yet to check for you, but if you can go I have a numbered plot plan for that section, PM your email addy if you would like a copy.

Hi willie

You are correct with that entry, but we don't know if someone enquired about that person and it got logged - I cannot answer just speculate

I have been a rootschat member since 2005 "I know my profile does not reflect that" and this subject has been raised many many times, If you search rootschat maybe 2/3 years ago a lot of discussion's were raised about all the council burial websites, and due mainly to the costs, that is what Oldham planned for - all burials from when bacas was installed are logged and any graves which need reopening the registers are cross referenced ---- that was a few years ago, have they changed there policy "I don't know" but I doubt it.

Ken

Hi Luke

Registration District was Middleton.

She must be buried in the Rochdale area, or maybe even St Leonard's Church Middleton.

This is a very good site when it comes to the Millington name "wife was a millie" and it has been of great help over the years

Your lady is not buried in any Oldham council cemetery  :( does she have family in Rochdale?

The Oldham burial website is not that good but 100% better than Salford/Rochdale who don't have one, and Manchester is just 95% fantastic.

Bit of history

Manchester council sent all there burial registers overseas to be photographed and transcribed, that is why all the records are online.

Oldham council took a different approach they are not putting old records online unless an old grave has to be reopened, they then create that entry on bacas with all data from the register.

I am not sure how Tameside are doing it but it seems to be the same way as Oldham.

You will need to find her orbs in the local newspaper to find the burial location.

Burial registers states

Bernard Dunn (7mths) was living at 23 Crissey St.

This makes the youngster only a visitor to 17 Charlestown road
