Rochdale Cemetery request

[Gillg]

Hi Daniel

Had a bit of trouble locating your post but found it on
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,102949.0.html
for the benefit of others.

Quote from one of TonyH's discoveries in Rochdale cemetery:
Alfred Butterworth of Ashworth St 11/11/1876 35y
Elizabeth wife of Alfred 14/12/1907 Washington U.S.A    67y
Mary B of Spotland Rd his sister 24/7/187? In her ?? year
Thomas B son of Alfred  ? 1898 aged 30
Mary Ellen wife of Thomas 14/11/28 60y
John Taylor 21/5/1919 47y (How did a Taylor get in here  )

I'm not al all sure about any of the Butterworth relationships, since it's been so difficult to find the right Betty Butterworth, a very popular name around that time.  Hiwever, since the graves were all in the same vault, it certainly suggests that they were related in some way.  As I mentioned before, Butterworth is such a common name in Rochdale.  A search for burials in Rochdale cemetery shows how difficult it is

but this site isn't yet complete, as my Hursts aren't on it.  My Adamsons across the way from them are, however, so I guess Dave Ollerton still has to cross over the path to their side to complete the survey. 

As always, there are more questions than answers, but I'd be interested to hear about John Taylor.

Regards,
Gill

Hi!  Sorry if I seem to be 'butting' in to your conversation! But I have just become interested in tracing my family tree and I was fascinated to see much stuff about the Butterworth's....I didn't realise....hmmm.
I will be going back to Oldham/Rochdale (I left when I was 18, back in 1973 for Australia) to visit in July (08) with my daughter.  I would like to do some exploring while I am there.
I am June Butterworth, (daughter of Harry (b.1922?) who was son of Elizabeth and Harvey? Not sure of his name as he does not seem to appear on any family trees and so wondering if I have the name wrong.  He had 16 children.  I can remember only some of their names.  Dad wasn't one for keeping in touch.
Anyway, just thought I would drop in and say 'hi'.  Not sure what I am doing yet, but I will keep on hunting around and reading...if anyone wants to chat, feel free to drop me a line.  I am in China at the moment (teaching), with not a lot to do... (hence playing on the Net). 
Cheerio,  June

Hi June, and welcome to RootsChat and this Rochdale topic!  

It's a long story, peppered by Butterworths, and there are so many families of this name in Rochdale that it's really difficult to trace them all accurately.  If you find a link, do get in touch.

Have fun in China.  I hope you are not in the snow-bound part.

Best wishes from another ex-Rochdalian

Thanks, I edited the msg and removed my email.  Have got onto the chat section of this site and met some wonderful folks who are helping me out...it all seems a bit complicated at the moment, but I guess it will get easier as I get used to it...hopefully!  I seem to have found Granny...!  Now...let's see if she is who I think she is...

Hi Tony
I wonder if your kind offer of Rochdale Cemetery lookups is still  available.
If so I would love a pic. and inscription details of Thomas and Eliza WALL Grave or Plot no. 14672 S.   
Thomas  died in 1939 and grave should be somewhere near the Wall at Sandy Lane End, so I have been told.
 

Thanks
