Hi Regarding names at Hillcot 1948/9 , you might ask if someone would check the Electoral Rolls at Bolton Archives -----Original Message----- From: eng-lan-bolton-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-lan-bolton-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Wright Sent: 04 April 2011 20:39 To: eng-lan-bolton@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] MOORE / READ marriage This was very interesting. I have no knowledge of the people but I know exactly where Hillcot was/is. I was invited there as a child and allowed to choose a doll from the playroom. I can't remember the name of the people who lived there then. It would have been about 1948/49. I don't imagine I was the only child treated this way. My brother was too and he chose a cricket bat.

Hi Listers Today I visited St Peters Graveyard, and with direction from fellow lister Bob and a map from Pat , I went straight to the spot, sadly there was no headstone, but I was still glad to have found it. Through the list I would like to thank the people who have taken the time and trouble to transcribe the St Peters church records, I have been doing my family tree for a number of years but was unable to discover where this particular couple had been buried, thanks to Lancs opc they mystery has been solved, so thanks for you hard work, it really is appreciated. Sue

Sue, I can possibly help you with that if you post the LAN-OPC details you have to the list. Ideally copy and paste the full entry. I should be able to relate the burial register details to the grave information and location and possibly tell you where to look. The graveyard is very big as church graveyards go, with about 18,000 burials. Don't necessarily expect finding the grave to be easy. Is it your intention to visit the graveyard?

Morning all, Here are the latest databases that I found had been added when I visited the site today: http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/indexw.html 22 March 2011 Marriages 1846 to 1847 and 1848 to 1850 from the Church of St Mary the Virgin in the Parish of Blackburn Baptisms 1874 to 1886 from the Church of St John the Evangelist, Blackpool Marriages 1813 to 1837 from the Parish of Chipping Marriages 1813 to 1830 from the Parish of Church Kirk Banns 1843 to 1905 from the Parish of Coppull Marriages 1852 to 1914 from Church St Wesleyan Methodist, in the Parish of Farnworth with Kearsley Burials 1928 to 1936 from the Church of St Michael, Great Lever Burials 1813 to 1855 and 1872 to 1875 from the Parish of Halton (A personal thank you from me to the Transcriber for Chipping - I may well be able to take a couple of steps back through the generations in that village!) Also, the search engine was updated to incorporate all records loaded onto the site, prior to March 13th. Happy Hunting! Regards, Sally

Thanks for that, Martin.

To mark Census Day 2011, we’re letting you access all our UK census record indexes, from England, Wales and Scotland, completely FREE, for 24 hours! 27th March will be a historic day, as we all come together to complete the 2011 National Census.
