This is not the first time that human remains have been found on or adjacent to this spot. In 2006 three skeletons were recovered by workmen developing the site, which were subsequently given a christian burial at Walmsley Unitarian Church, Egerton.

"NK" is usually "Not Known". Was he in the Bolton area in 1851, if somewhere else then perhaps they were not sure of the county. I once came across a page in rural Yorkshire with several families of itinerant workers living in tents - Irish tinkers? They all had just about every field entered as "NK".

I have been asked to try to find an Edith Agnes Andrews who had an illegitimate baby at 2, Champion Park, Camberwell , London, which in the early 1900 was an orphanage and hospital, owned by the Salvation Army. I have sent a letter to the above address, but they are unable to help anyone who only wish to complete a family tree. I have also written to two other adoption agencies, they say they have no records prior to 1927. I am researching my friends family tree, and he knows his mother Rita Kathleen Andrews born 1916 was adopted by a family called Stein around 1920, but we can find no information on his grandmother, who he believes came from Cork, Ireland. How do I access records from Ireland? I know this is not a Lancashire query, but I hope you do not mind. Thank you, Margaret Horrocks
