Useful info. poirot; thanks. I have a few rellies in there but didn’t know they’d been exhumed.

Which FHS/Research Centre holds the records?

[poirot]

It is the Family History Society of Cheshire.

It is a pity I did not find your query last week when I was on duty and could have looked at the records for you.

As I said unfortunately our Research Centre closed on Monday due to the Coronavirus until it is deemed safe to reopen.

I have some news for you. Our Librarian has sent me the list of the people buried at the Chapel so if you let me know who you are interested in I will see if they have been recorded.

Regards,

Thanks for the offer poirot but there’s nobody I’m looking for specifically at the moment - I not sure whether the records are on FindMyPast?

I’ve been meaning to join the FHSC ever since the NCFHS gave up the ghost!

[poirot]

I am sure they are not on Find my Past.

We have them on fiche and a paper copy in our library. The original registers are in Stockport Heritage Library but I assume the Library is closed at the moment due to the Coronavirus.

Keep well.

Yes, you're right. After a quick check of what I have, it looks like the information came from other sources.

The only specific "look -up" I'd like is to see who might be in the same grave as Joseph WHITEHEAD who died in Stockport Workhouse on 21 March 1888 and was buried "by friends" on 24 March 1888.

Thanks

[poirot]

There is only Hannah Whitehead listed who died 26/5/1836 aged 38. She is in grave D32.

[poirot]

A bit more info. On Ancestry you can see the original register under Non Conformist records and I have the CD's for The National Burial Index so he is definitely buried in Edgeley Weselyan Chapel graveyard.

But because he died in the poorhouse there is no stone.

Hello Poirot

Thank you so much for connecting with us. Could you look up Rev. John Robert Thompson Hawksley (Methodist Minister) and Isaac Linney (Lay Methodist Minister and father-in-law of Robert)? And any others with that last name.

Jenni
