My grandfather, Edgar Blakey, came from Keighley, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He was born in 1894. The 1901 census of his family says he was from the parish of 'Holy Trinity, Lawkholme', but I cannot find any such parish. I also would like to know how to find out the family burial ground in Keighley - can you help? Lee-Anne Blakey Massachusetts, USA

Hi Michelle I need to consult the rescords for St Mary's Bury (Bury Parish Church) for 1820s and 1800s please could you confirm that they are at Manchester Central Library? One address I have for this family is just Moorfield, Bury, then the Birth Certificate shows North Bury. I'm not sure how these relate to each other. Many thanks for your help. Elaine
