They were at 28 Standish Street in 1861, too. In 1851, they were in Whalley.

Interesting. In 1851, Sarah A Hirst, aged, 11, is described as an orphan.

Julie, this website has some photos of old Burnley, including one of Standish Street (just scroll down). Now demolished.

Thanks Shona .. the photos give a real idea of what Standish Street would have been like.
There are some good links there too to the local area and possible connections to others from the area. Thank you. I don't know how you know where to look .. Julie

But, you have to pay to get the details of the memorial inscriptions.

The cemetery opened in 1856.
