Hi Sarah

Have you tried contacting St Leonard's direct to see if they can help?

The church has a website - www.middletonparishchurch.org.uk with contact details on it. The church is Grade 1 Listed and looks a beautiful building.

best of luck

It looks like the graveyard inscriptions "for yards 1 & 2" are held at Middleton Library - the email address is middleton.library[at]rochdale.gov.uk - maybe they can help or suggest someone who can?
(replace [at] with @)

They also hold newspapers for the period which might provide useful background info.

best wishes

Marie,
Hi, yes I did try the church but no answer. I will try the library though and see if they can help at all.

Many thanks for all your work on my behalf
