St James, Haslingden

[viks3457]

Hi guys,

Was wondering if someone may be able to help.

I have many relatives buried in St James Churchyard, Haslingden, and have been looking at the book of transcripts in the local library.  However I have actually been unable to locate the particular graves within the churchyard, as there are no numbers on the headstones. 

Is anyone aware of a plan/map of the churchyard with numbers?  I cannot seem to locate one anywhere.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi there

Rossendale family history society transcribed St James' MIs and in one of their newsletters it said someone did a grave plan, so if you can get hold of the MIs (maybe on microfiche then pop to your local library to read them) you should find a plan  www.rossendale-fhhs.org.uk/files/newsletters/december_2007.html shows the article

Hi Shirl100,

Thanks for your reply.  I live in the area, and have been into both Rawtenstall and Haslingden Libraries, but there are no grave plans.  I have also contacted Haslingden Roots, but am still awaiting a reply from them :-(

I presumed that there was a grave plan someone as the MI's do say the whether each plot has a marker stone, or no stone!  So if I can't get an actual plan, I am just going to have to work off the MI's.  They have been meticulously done, so that shouldn't be too difficult!

Thanks again

Correction,  Jacqueline has replied from Haslingden Roots, so I think I have a contact to point me in the right direction.

Thanks again

Hi,

Would you let me know the outcome as I too have relatives buried there.

I most certainly will Mo.

Are you local to Haslingden?

[mosiefish]

Probably about 10 miles away from Haslingden.

Ah ok.

I am going down to the library at Haslingden on Monday, and was wondering if you wanted me to have a look through the MI's for you! I don't mind at all!

Hi Vikki,

That`s very kind of you, but I do have the MI`s on fiche and had looked to see if there was a grave plan on them for you, but there wasn`t.  Does Jackie know of one?

Mo
