I would just like to take a moment and let everyone know just how helpful the staff are at Bolton Library Archive. I went there this morning to ask about the possability of finding out where my great grandparents resting place is situated. Not only did they find this but also had the relevant newspapers on Microfiche which enabled me to find the actual death notices for them both.. I have yet to find a funeral report which hopefully will tell me who attended. All in all i had a had very nice afternoon

hiya mark, i second that, julie who works there will try her best to help you, i remember a few yrs back when i had very little to go on (my dad died in 1953) she found an entry in the fishpool workhouse admittance book(now physio block @ royal bolton hossy) it showed my dad was there in 1925, it blew me away, since then ive found out loads in the archives,x
