Memorial Inscriptions, Bolton Parish Church

Thanks Vera,
I spent over 2 hours browsing through the microfilms at City Library on Deansgate last week. I found the burial records for both JnO Hindle and Thomas Hindle of Sharples. There was nothing to tie the two together as father and son. I was hoping that if there are any memorial inscriptions available I would find them in the same grave. Also I have no record of who John Hindle's wife was so was hoping to find her in the same grave.
Never mind !
I have since emailed the church directly to see if they can help.
Regards
Graham

Good Morning,
Does anyone out there have access to the memorial inscriptions for St Peter, Bolton (Bolton Parish Church).

My 5 x great grandfather JOHN HINDLE was buried there on 23rd January 1809.
His son THOMAS HINDLE was buried there on 5th December 1804.

What I am looking for is..... Were they buried in the same grave ? Was John's wife (Thomas's mother) buried in the same grave ? What was her name, her age when she died and the year she was buried ? Unfortunately the gravestones have been removed.

If anyone either has access to this information or can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Graham
