Barker Burials in Dukinfield.
« on: Monday 18 February 13 10:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi All.
I am trying to locate where my GG/Grandparents James and Ellen Barker were laid to rest.
Ellen died on the 11th November 1854, her place of death on certificate was 2 Booth Court Dukinfield, it also stated she was widow of James Barker occupation Overlooker. I suspect James died between 1834 and 1841 as his youngest child was born 1835/36 in Stalybridge but he was not with Ellen and children on the 1841 census they were Roman Catholics. Were there any cemetery's or Catholic Church graveyards in the Dukinfield/Stalybridge area at that time and if so who would hold the burial records. Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards Dave.

Dave - GENUKI is useful for this sort of information. They list one RC church for Dukinfield, but don't say whether there was a graveyard. Under Stalybridge there was St Peter the link has some of the registers at Cheshire RO & others missing:

Hi mshrmh.
Many thank for all your help with this post.
I see that St Marys RC Church in Dukinfield has put all the RC records for Stalybridge Dukinfield and Ashton Under Lyne areas from about 1823 onto a cd. I will get in touch with them to purchase a copy if they are still on sale.
Dave.

Hi heatherjulie.
Thank you for your reply.
Does that mean she was actually buried at St Peters or that the funeral service was conducted there. James her husband could have been buried somewhere else because according to what I have seen on the internet they did'nt start building St Peters until 1838 and he was possibly deceased by then.
Dave.

hi
Genuki says that St Peters doesn't have a graveyard.

Hi
I'm hoping to go to the archives centre this week so will try to get information about RC burials in the area.

Hi

There is also St. Pauls, which is actually in Hyde but not far from Dukinfield.  It's actually in Newton, Hyde, which is the next town to Dukinfield.
