St. Wilfreds RC Cemetery in Hulme.

[Luzzu]

My 2 x gt grandmother's maiden name was Mullin but on quite a few of the childrens' birth certificates she was recorded as "formerly Mulligan".  She was born in Ireland.  I think all her children were baptised at St Wilfrid's (between 1877-1895). Her married name was Grant.

Thought I would mention it just in case.

HI Everyone:
I got some information from a family member that my 2nd great grandmother is buried in this cemetery.  I can see on google maps that it is no longer a church, but it appears there still might be a small cemetery there.  Is anyone close to this location and can anyone help me?  Her name was Mary Mitchell and we have a date of death of 10 Oct 1854 or it might be 1864.  Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi I wonder if you can confirm a marriage for me....
Ernest WALKDEN
Mary Elizabeth HARRIS
22 April 1901

I am also trying to locate a burial place for both of them...Ernest died in 1937 and Mary in 1928. I have tried Manchester & Southern Cemetery with no luck. Even though Ernest's parents and some siblings are all buried in the same plot at Southern.  Still waiting to hear back from the Cremetorium. But I wondered if  St Wilfreds is a Catholic church would they be buried there ??

Did they die in the Hulme area? Do you have there address's? It may help

[dottyaussie]

Hi thanks for your replies. I have their address when Mary died as Herbert St Hulme and Ernest address was Nell Lane Hulme when he died.
I had a look on the register that you mentioned willie bat and it looks like they had several of their children christened at St Wilfreds too !!

I have checked the project database - and only 1 Walkden mentioned, but not yours.

MANCHESTER CREMATORIUM
Memorial Inscriptions Project

The Missing Records
Early in 2001 I came across a thin folder in the Manchester & Lancashire FHS library.
This contained photocopies of a document which turned out to be part of the report
and accounts for the Manchester Crematorium Company for 1900 in which brief
details had unusually been published of the first 412 people cremated at Manchester
Crematorium since its opening in 1892. Upon making further enquiries, I soon
discovered that this was the only surviving official record of those cremated there
before 1941.
The reason for this gap in the records was the loss of all of the Company’s records
during the “Christmas Blitz” of 1940. The building in which the Company had its
offices was destroyed in the bombing and with it the registers recording details of
those cremated. There were no other copies.
