Dukinfield Funeral - James Ashworth

[MrBluesman]

My mums brother James Ashworth died only 2 months old on the 26 November 1941. I think his funeral would have been at Dukinfield Cemetery is there anyway to check this as it doesn't come up on their site but it looks like their online records don't go that far back?. As I don't live in the area could anyone check if they are going?

Hi
I have been to Dukinfield cemetery and checked the registers for Dukinfield, Denton, Ashton, Droylsden and Audenshaw and there was no burial for James.

Do you know what religion the family were? Was there a particular church that the famiily used? There are  some church graveyards in the area but I would have to go to the archives centre to check them.

Did the family live in Dukinfield? I see that the death was registered Audenshaw.

Heather Thanks for checking,

The family were CofE, I don't know of a particular church I do know that when James's dad and brother died around 1968 they were both cremated in Dukinfield. The Family lived in Ashton and James died at home, my mum died last year and she couldn't remember what happened to his body and my Auntie was too young to remember.

Thanks again for your help
Andrew

Do you know which church your parents or grandparents were married at?

I will try to go to the archives centre and look on the films.

Hi Heather,

My Grandparents were married in Dartford in Kent and my mum and sister were both born there and moved back up north shortly after but before James was born in September 1941. They lived in Jermyn Street in Ashton-Under-Lyne and this was where James died in November 1941. My mum married in 1957 at Albion Church in Ashton-Under-Lyne. I am not sure where Jermyn Street was in Ashton but from what I have found I think it was somewhere near the bus station. My Mums youngest brother died in Dec 1967 and my grandad died in the Feb of 1968 both of them cremated at Dukinfield. I will have to go through my file as I have a newspaper cutting for both of them, and I seem to remember there was a different address in 1967/68.
