I could swear this was discussed before, but I can't find the posts. Oh well. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ >From Deceased Online: Bolton Council, Overdale Crematorium, Overdale Drive, Chorley New Road, Bolton, Lancashire, BL1 5BU. All burial and cremation records for Bolton Council in the county of Lancashire, North West England are being made available online. There are seven cemeteries and one crematorium. Astley Bridge Cemetery, opened 1884 Blackrod Cemetery, opened 1887 Farnworth Cemetery, opened 1876 Heaton Cemetery, opened 1879 Horwich (Ridgemont) Cemetery, opened 1928 Tonge Cemetery, opened 1856 Westhaughton Cemetery, opened 1858 Overdale Crematorium, opened 1954 The data for each cemetery will comprise digital scans of the burial registers, grave details indicating grave occupants, cemetery maps indicating the section where each grave is located and photographs of some memorials. Data for Tonge Cemetery is available immediately with data for all the other cemeteries and the crematorium to follow over the next few weeks during November and December 2012. Tonge Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Bolton – Lancashire BL2 6AG. Tonge Cemetery was the first municipal cemetery in Bolton when it opened on New Years Eve 1856 and was known simply as Bolton cemetery. In 2002, English Heritage considered Tonge cemetery to be of sufficient historical interest to be placed on the Register of Parks and Gardens as a Grade II listed site. Its architect and landscape designer William Henderson also designed Corporation Park in Blackburn, Alexandra park in Oldham and Bolton’s Queens park. Tonge Cemetery has many impressive old memorials featuring prominent industrialists and other citizens from the area. However, perhaps the most famous burial is that of Fred Dibnah, the steeplejack who became a cult TV personality with his programmes, made in the 1980s and 1990s, on industrial heritage and engineering mostly from the industrial revolution. Dibnah died in 2004 and his memorial, together with over 4,000 others, is available in the data on the website. Another tragic but curious burial record is that for Thomas McCarte (aka MacCarte) who died in 1872. The unfortunate Mr McCarte was a lion tamer with the visiting ‘Manders Menagerie’ and he had already lost an arm working in his chosen profession with Bell and Myers’ Circus at Liverpool. On January 3rd, 1872, Mr McCarte, billed as ‘Massarti the Lion Tamer’, commenced what was to be his final performance in Bolton. You can read a rather gruesome [very gruesome!] and detailed account of his confrontation with an ‘Asian Lion’ in a New York Times archive at: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40617FC3C5D1A7493C2AB178AD85F468784F9 In total, there are records for over 116,600 burials, dating from opening on 31 December 1856 to November 2010. The data available comprises: burial register scans with 20 entries per scanned page grave details providing information on all those buried in the grave as well as the grave reference photographs of 4,000 memorials and headstones which include approximately 20,000 names of those buried in the cemetery cemetery maps showing the section where the grave is located. Note: The cemetery maps provide details of the section within the cemtery where the selected grave is located. Each section or block comprises upto 100 graves. Most of the gravestones and memorials incorporate grave reference numbers so using the maps, it is relatively easy to find the searched for grave. It should also be noted that in the 1860’s a fire destroyed many of the original burial maps. Consequently it may not be possible to accurately locate a small number of plots especially if the deceased was buried in an early communal grave by the river where the graves are unmarked and there are very few headstones. Note Bolton Council have requested that the addresses of the deceased not be shown in burial register records for the last 15 years. Viewers will not be able to view the most recent data until it is 3 years old to allow the families of the deceased time to inform their relatives.

Those interested in Burnley history might enjoy reading these two articles published in the Burnley Express: "The ‘playgrounds’ of Burnley’s past" at <http://www.burnleyexpress.net/news/opinion/columnists/nostalgia-the-playgrounds-of-burnley-s-past-1-5075404> or <http://tinyurl.com/bfcl3pm> and "The history of Heasandford" at <http://www.burnleyexpress.net/news/opinion/columnists/peek-into-past-the-history-of-heasandford-1-5075413> or <http://tinyurl.com/crg3oj8> Best wishes, Lynne

Perhaps this news article from the Chorley Guardian will be of interest to some: "A Chorley magistrate who spent five years painstakingly researching his family tree has published his own book. "Paul Helmn [sic], a former podiatrist, and now a Justice of the Peace for Lancashire, spent years researching 625 names, 168 marriages, and 21 generations. "With various hiccups along the way, including a computer glitch which meant he lost a lot of work, Paul has now recorded his family history stretching back almost 700 years. "Paul, who lives in Charnock Richard with wife Blanche, said the process was a labour of love and helped him feel closer to his ancestors. "The adventure started in 2008 with a call from a cousin who wanted some information about their great-grandfather. "Not wanting to stop there, Paul decided to delve deeper. "He said: “I did some research and I couldn’t find what we were looking for, but I went further back instead. “'I thought I would try to find out exactly where we came from. “'In a family you get lots of rumours. Your gran says she came in on a boat, or whatever, but I wanted to find out for sure. “'I rejoined the Lancashire County Record office, in Bow Lane, Preston, and after several years we got to where we started from, in Chipping. “'I traced the family name and got back to 1304.'” Wish I could get back that far!
