James Lees

[michelew]

I am looking for a burial for my relative James Lees -  he was born 45 October 1810.   All his family are buried in St.Leonards Parish Church, Middleton near Manchester -  I have had no luck in tracing him there but I do have him up to 1871 census Lodging in Tonge, Middleton -  he was a Tailor by profession.

What year did he die? Presumably post 1871 but there are a lot of possibilities

You have posted on the Beginners board so I have asked the moderator to move your post to the Lancs board

There is a burial record for a James Lees Jnr born 23 June 1811, died 3 August 1879.  Buried at Ardwick Cemetery, Manchester

This may be the relevant death record

LEES, JAMES       68

Lancashire BMD has this death - 1874, James Lees 63 yrs Oldham

He was in the Oldham RD in 1871 - the Chorlton death could be the 1871 entry married to Susannah.  Aged 59 b Manchester

I thought it fitted Carole. Oldham, sub district Chadderton fits 
What do you think?

To all the people who have tried to help - thank you.    Every one that has been notified to me I have also highlighted them.   I am now trying to go through each one and find any further information - i will also send for a couple of certificates.

Sorry if I have not answered anyones messages - for some reason I can't sort my way around this site

Thank you. A general acknowledgement is fine. It is just nice to know that we have helped in some way.
I do hope you find the right death to then begin your search for a burial

Best wishes
