Hello Keith, Thank you so much for checking the Tyldesley, and then Astley, cemetery records for my PARTs. St Stephen's, Astley hit pay dirt (so to speak). As you suggested, PART may have been transcribed as PARR. However the PARRs you sent me are not familiar. But the PARTs are! I can identify most of them! Fantastic. And those whom I can't identify at present have aroused my curiosity - they are probably children of some of the others, and are currently unknown to me. You have found me a real gold mine. I can't thank you enough. If I might presume on your generosity some more, I'd like to take up your offer of obtaining further information. You mention photographs or inscription listings of people whose graves have a reference. I would appreciate anything available on the following: James PART, bur 3 Jan 1859. grave C12. Martha PART, bur 29 Nov 1865, grave L9. Samuel PART, bur 27 Mar 1869, grave C11. Hannah PART, bur 30 Sep 1869, grave L8. Fanny PART, bur 21 Apr 1870, age 6 months, no grave. Is she buried with a parent, I wonder? Martha PART, bur 4 Jul 1872, grave C11. Albert Ernest PART, bur 5 Jul 1873, age 1, no grave. Thomas PART, bur 4 Sep 1873, grave L9. Samuel PART, bur 9 Nov 1874, age 5 months, no grave. Mary PART, bur 29 Jul 1882, grave Q16. Martha PART, bur 20 Nov 1855, no grave. Mary PART, bur 2 Feb 1849, grave C12. Thomas PART, bur 31 May 1843, grave C121. And finally, you suggest that there may be earlier information on PART burials. I would appreciate as much of this as you can manage. At this point, I think maybe I'll concentrate only on PARTs rather than PARRs. I am more than happy to pay for the cost of photos or photocopies. Perhaps we should make contact off list for this purpose. And if it is of any use to you, I'm more than happy to provide you with my information on the above PARTs to augment your database. Looking forward to hearing from you.
