Bacup Methodist Records at Lancaster Record Office

[Pennines]

Oh -- well done on finding that chapel, Rosie, aka Brain Box!

I had looked on the Lancs Non-Conformist records, but just for the name.

I knew it was there as I had found my late father in laws baptism there at the weekend

What an amazing piece of timing!

I was looking for his WW2 records at the time 

Ancestry have St John the Evangelist, Bacup listed under
Manchester, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930 

[Pennines]

Yes - there are Rossendale, Bolton, Bury and other towns included in the Manchester dataset.

It annoys me actually, as you would think they should be included in the Lancashire parish registers.

Deaths are not in parish records for 1894 - do you mean a burial

Deaths Jun 1894   

Green    Louie    1    Rochdale    8e   63

The death wasn’t registered Rochdale, it was Haslingden.
Lancashire BMD has sub-district Newchurch.
Were the family definitely living in Bacup?
Do you have baptisms for any other family members?

Sorry all I am not getting notifications of replies. I did contact admin.

I appreciate all of the answers.

I will have a look Rosie at the Manchester records you never know.

Heywood they were living in  Bacup, Reg Haslingden, Sub District Newchurch for both birth and death.

The family also baptised in C of E but at this time were members of the Methodist congregation
then and for many years later.

Thanks Sandy

I don't know whether you are a local, but did you know that Bacup is pronounced Bay-cup?  The BBC always call it "Back-up"!

Hi Sandy,
I know you will have this but you say ‘at this time’, (that is 1893-95) they were Methodists.
Their children, Alfred b 1890; Martha Louisa b 1895 and Charles Jesse b 1897 were baptised together in 1898, in St John’s Mission Church, Stand Lane, Radcliffe. They are recorded in Radcliffe, St John registers.
Perhaps this is why there is no record for Louie.
