where would Methodists be buried in Rufford?

[stretchie]

MOSS Family of Rufford, Methodists.

Where would they be buried?  Ive checked St Mary's and some of the early Moss's are in there - but where would all the others be buried?


MYSTERY.............

This site may be helpful to you.  It gives churches within the Rufford area and also states whether or not the church had a graveyard.

All the Moss's in Rufford are mine!.

Richard b.1739, Jane b.1744, Robert b.1769, Susannah.....   I could go on and on.

Paviours; lived in Brick Kiln Lane, one of the sons was a Methodist Preacher.

Only found Richard, Jane, Robert, Susannah and Margaret Moss buried in Rufford Church.

Where could all the others be?

[andrewalston]

Could be at Croston. There are certainly RC burials there, so probably methodists too.

[stretchie]

I thought of that too.

Been through the churchyard at Croston and not many Moss's there either.  Have to make a visit to the Records Office I think.....

Thanks for taking an interest.

Both Rufford and Croston early registers have been transcribed by the Lancashire Parish Record Society. I know there's a set in Chorley Library, so I'll have a look for your Mosses on friday evening.

Got the burials and marriages, but close of play happened before I finished the baptisms.
