I've been searching for Grimshaws too. Unfortunately Manchester's teeming with them.

I'm finding hardly any burials, although I'm sure there ought to be some for the people I'm looking for. It's the same with the Warwickshire and West Yorkshire records on Ancestry. Maybe the burial records aren't complete? I known the Manc non-con records aren't online yet.

Could it be because the people you're looking for were buried in municipal cemeteries, Mary? Manchester General Cemetery opened in 1837, for instance - or are the burials you're looking for earlier than that?

There are some around 1842-44 I can't find, so they might be in the municipal cemetery. The ones who died later all moved to Bradford, but I haven't found burials for any of the people I would expect to have died in Manc pre-1837.
It doesn't help that I'm searching for rather common names, and not all the burials give the street name or occupation, depending on the date.

It would also seem that the Eccles family did not baptise their children for several months, so where the children died under a year, they were not baptised - I found two deaths for 4xg grandparents babies, but only no baptism.

I'd forgotten that I had the Mancs burial site bookmarked, which includes the General Cemetery. Off to have a look.

What a pain - I did find one person on the Mancs burial site, duly bought some credits to view the page from the register, and it took me to the wrong page! Took ages to find a contact form. I hope they can fix the problem, because I wasted a credit on it.
