It's probably going to remain a mystery!

Lancashire / Re: Has anyone any ideas - 2 burials of cholera victims.
« on: Sunday 23 July 23 16:17 BST (UK) »I saw that on F a G. On the St Mary's record it looks like he was buried in a mass grave.
The first burials in this cemetery took place on 24 March 1881. Which is over 30 years later than he died though
Which cemetery is that - 1881?

Yes apparently it was St Mary's in Kirkdale.

ADDED: Maybe there were mass burials from the cholera hospital without regard for the denomination of the deceased because of infection risk, then RCs were reburied in a catholic cemetery?
He was first buried in a RC cemetery then buried in the C of E one later - as were most of the others on that register.

Yes it is. He had his children baptised there, St Anthony's where Christopher Judge was buried first is also RC.

I've no idea but surely they were terrified of infection barely 2 months after death from cholera & all the ones on the Oct register were cholera victims. They seem to have been buried at St Martins in October from a couple of different churches.
The column heading just says Remarks.

This seems a weird one to me. Has anyone any ideas?
My 3xgtGrandfather William Stirrup died in Aug 8th 1849 in the Cholera Hospital, Vauxhall rd, Liverpool.The first mention of his burial I found years ago was for 7th Oct in St Martin in the Field CofE. I always thought that was a long time between death & burial especially for a Cholera victim. Today I found another record for him to say he'd been buried on the 9th August in St Mary's church RC,which I would have thought would be more feasable. Why is there a record for him at St Martins so long afterwards? I noticed other people on the register as well - e.g. Christopher Judge who I also found but buried on the 15th Aug in St Anthonys RC. I also found another couple of records as well of people on the Oct one.
Plus I've no idea who Thos & Sarah are. He'd no children called either of those names, I think his father was called Thomas. If that was the correct one though he died in the 1830's.but I can't verify that other than a baptism in Warrington in 1813 to a Thomas & Alice Stirrup.
Thanks!
