I was very glad to read of the preservation of the Barton on Irwell Wesleyan Methodist Society burial records which record my Eccles family ancestry from 1831-59. John and Alice Eccles had Samuel born at Eccles in July 1834 who moved to Liverpool about 1853 and remained there. The family burial plot is number 34. Is there any chance that anything remains after 150 years? If it will soon be under asphalt, now must be the time to get the DNA out, correct?

Hi My name is Jane Byrne and I am interested in 36 Church Street Eccles. Before it became Wilkinsons, it belonged to Woolworths but before that it was a butcher's shop belonging to my Grandfather, and my Father was born in this shop. I am after any information regarding this building or a photo of it would be great. I have tried Salford History Museum for a photo and they seem to have everything but.... My Grandfather's name was George Richard Gibson and he left Eccles in 1916 to go to live in Birkenhead. He was a Master Butcher as was his father, Thomas, and his father, George. Thank you Jane Byrne Whangarei New Zealand jhbyrne@ihug.co.nz

Hi Jane I have a Thomas GIBSON, a butcher who was born at Wincle Cheshire in 1840. I know that some of the family moved into Manchester and I can follow the line to my wife. However there were others and I was wondering if your GIBSON butchers could be connected.

Hello Carol I am researching the HOLKER family. You mention this surname in your index. Do you have any more details please of this monumental inscription? Christine Barsby Western Australia

Dear Listers. I have a marriage certificate from 1913, for Henry BOWEN and Louisa BRAY. The witnesses were Richard and Sarah HURD. Any connections? Second question, they lived in Winton and were married at All Saints Weaste in Salford. The distance between the Salford church and Winton, would this be a local church?
