You have found the answer!  That is undoubtedly the right man. I will now pursue Oldham Council for the Burial Register.

My thanks to you both -this find is down to you.

I will now pursue Oldham Council for the Burial Register.

But why do you need to?
The burial is actually indexed on FamilySearch.

Images are downloadable

Quality of downloaded image of register very poor - almost illegible. Oldham will provide.

[jonwarrn]

Fair enough, hope all goes well with your request to Oldham council.

How strange - out of interest I downloaded the images from the links kindly provided by John and they were very clear 

[jonwarrn]

That's good, Jen.
Hopefully they will be good enough if Oldham won't play ball.

All done and dusted - Oldham have provided. Many thanks to all concerned.
