BURIAL BOOK ONE - NEW YARD 1950 - 1998
This is a bound book about 7"x 9" now very frayed. It is headed on the inside cover "Reference to Owners of Grave Spaces in St Marks Churchyard, Low Moor"

New Yard Entries
Each page is divided into two columns with four sections, making eight boxes per page. The top entry in each box is numbered starting with 1 to 8 but after only a few entries this system is abandoned. Each box is then given another number starting with 2000 up to 2023 when this system too is abandoned. Entries are then made in any order starting with a number in the 2000s then an initial followed by a surname and then a letter.
We have transcribed these entries and then sorted them into both alphabetical and number order. They refer to the new portion of the yard. See Graveyard section for plans and advice on finding grave positions

Old Yard Entries
When the above entries finish it becomes apparent that this book was originally used for entries in the old yard and the original numbering started on the first page at 1 referred to grave numbers in the old yard and it continues through to 1066. A single surname appears in each box and this must be the grave owner as the heading at the front of the book announces. We have compared this list to the graveyard plan and the results can be found on the Graveyard page.
