Hiya Washy
go to
www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html
click on Parish
click on A
first one is ABRAM - St John the Evangelist
put in Dennies
4 records   -  first 2 state abode as Plank Lane
the last 2 state 218 Plank Lane as the abode...so probably the 4 were 218 Plank Lane
sadly George Godfrey Dennies age 16 is buried 5th July 1893...one of those on your list
regards ...allan

Hi Thanks think I'm getting where it was now, just seems along way from the church.

I think you will find the Leigh addresses were on the colliery (east) side of the canal, and the Abram side was (West) of the canal towards A580 and Warrington. As a reference point 138 Plank Lane was at the intersection with Horrocks Street. You can see this junction on Google Maps. Paul
