According to the FamilySearch my ancestor Roger Dewhurst Crompton was buried at St James's Church, George Street, Manchester, aged 48 on 18 May 1847.
I wondered if the church register would give any other detail as he came from Bolton but unable to find him on the 1841 census.
If anyone is going to GMCRO and has a bit of spare time I would be grateful for any further info on this burial. The church closed in the 1928 so I doubt if there are monumental inscriptions [if his family could afford a headstone!]
If not I'll apply for the death cert.
Thanks, Ken

On the census posted above, it looks like his wife is Mary?

Do you have any other info on Roger?

I find quite often I can't find a trace of someone on a census on GR so I look on Ancestry on their homepage where you can enter some details.

I can't look at the info on there but there is a Roger Dewhurst Crompton who was apparently on trial and imprisoned on 30th August 1841.

There is also an entry in the 1841 for a Roger Crompton born circa 1801 in Lancashire.

Perhaps a kind soul on here will look up the info on Ancestry for you.

Hope this helps.

Roger's wife was Elizabeth and they married at Warburton, Cheshire 19 June 1825.
They had 6 children between 1826 and 1841 all baptised at Bolton le Moors Parish Church according to the IGI.
1841 30 Aug he was tried at Salford County Sessions and sentenced to 2 months imprisonment for larceny.
The bit on Ancestry is from my private tree on there.
Hope this clarifies things.

the burials are also at the Lancs Records Office along with some MI's but don't know what years for MI's. If I go next week I will have a look if no-one else has found the info

Ginny - Don't know what happened to Elizabeth Crompton [nee Hammond]. I assumed she was around for the baptisms in Bolton on 25 Dec 1841 [see list of children in previous post]

LancashireAnn - Many thanks for your kind offer.

Added 29 May -
The LCRO document relating to th trial doesn't give much info except that the costs were £6.0s.4d; the solicitors/clerks were Whitehead, Barlow and Radclliffe and the case was Hannah Widdall against Roger Dewhurst Crompton --larceny

the burial of Roger Dewhurst Crompton - only extra info is that he died in the infirmary

There are some MI's but they are handwritten and not indexed

Thanks for that information regarding the place of death.
If I get Roger's death certificate hopefully the informant will be a family member and I can use that address to search the 1841 census, even though the death was 6 years later..

cheers

Hi Ken2, Manchester Archives and Local Studies who are based at City Library (The Manchester Room) on Deansgate have the birth, marriage and burial records on microfilm for St James, George Street. for the years 1788 to 1854. The reference is MFPR163. Ring the library first to book time on a microfilm reader. All the info you need should be on there. They will do photocopies of the original record once you have found it.
Cheers

Thanks for that but LancashireAnn has already looked at the burial record for me, at Preston, but no home address was shown. See her message dated 6 June above.
