Hi Ruth I don't know if it will help, but the nearest cemetery to Chorlton Row would no doubt have been Southern Cemetery. My grandmother lived in Chorlton and that's where she was buried. They found her in the non-conformist part of the cemetery as she was a Methodist too. I'm not sure when Southern Cemetery was opened though, but it might be worth checking with them. It is on Barlow Moor Road in Chorlton. (We used to live 6 doors from there!)
