Family grave O'BRIEN
« on: Friday 15 January 10 20:55 GMT (UK) »
Soe time ago someone kindly found the grave of my Catholic grandparents at Ford Cemetery. I sent for details and the details I got back were invaluable.
This was some time ago and now I have discovered through the 1911 census other relatives in the family both of whom died in the 1919 flu epidemic.  This indicates that there is a second family grave but I dont know how to go about finding it.
There was Christopher O'Brien born 25/12/1910 died 22/02/1919 aged 8. He died in the Walton Institution Infirmary. His aunt who lived at 25 Elizabeth Road Orrell died 16/02/1919. I think  Christopher lived at the same address as this is where I found him in the 1911 census.  Finding the family grave would hopefully help fill in so many unanswered questions about the rest of my family.

Orrell was and is in the parish of Wigan bordering on Liverpool, the register office being Wigan and Leigh, you could try these

They will do a free look up.

St James is the catholic church there but I can only find records of burials upto 1900, unless someone else knows more.

The other option would be that he was buried at the hospital or close to it.
