Yes have seen it but unfortunately it is not a complete  as there are millions of graves in that cemetery. I took a walk around it the other week for some one. Found there graves for them but they had details. I spent 4 hours just wondering around looking for my family, but sadly had to give up as it went dark.

Great link though Mo, shame it is not complete but i could never imagine it ever been complete.

I have found it difficult locating graves even in a small churchyard. I did have grave numbers for two plots at St peter Halliwell but never found the graves as they musn't have had headstones & I couldn't even make out the plots.
Happy hunting!

I really meant specific addresses to help find the nearest church with a graveyard.

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't have any addresses in Rochdale as they weren't living there during any of the census returns. They were in Hulme in 1855 then in Rochdale in 1858 when Lydia was baptised at St Chads Church there. The deaths were registered in Castle Nearer & that's all I know. I don't know the area so don't know if there are any churches in the Castle Nearer area with burial grounds.
Thanks for your help
