Thank you Pauline - but no luck unfortunately. My FLETCHER ancestors lived in Chorlton-on-Medlock and I think a cemetery in Chorlton-cum-Hardy is perhaps too far away. Also, I now see that it didn't open until much later than the date I'm looking at. After trawling the web I've found references to Rusholme Cemetery and this may be the answer. I've contacted Manchester Archives but I'm not optimistic that records have survived as I can't find them listed anywhere. We'll see. But if anyone can tell me something different... Ruth
