Thanks lancashireAnn, you have been a great help

that was the full inscription for that particular grave. it was taken from this site which you may find useful. It has a good search facility

http://www.todmordenandwalsden.co.uk/

quite a lot of people from the Todmorden area moved to Blackpool in their later years but are buried in their birth town or where their parents were buried.

on the Todmorden site there are a few transcribed burials where the person 'died in Blackpool' (which came under reg district Fylde)

Charles and Martha where my grandmas Grandparents. Are the inscriptions available to view online?

is this a relative too?

grave inscription from Cross-stones graveyard Todmorden

Thanks Shirley, think i will contact them and get his records

looks like his medal card on Ancestry
Name: Charles W Hirst
Regiment or Corps: Lancashire Fusiliers
Regimental Number: 65359

Thanks everyone.
Choccy, not sure thats his death. His parents both lived in Bury and he is buried there too. I can find no family connection to that area unless there was a convalecence home there, maybe he was injured in the war.
The only way to be sure is to send for the death cert.
Thank you
