Hi do any of the members live in or near Whatcroft and would they know were people would have been buried back from 1700-1800? . I found a St Wilfred's online but cant find the people i am looking for, but it maybe because they dont have headstones, or they maybe buried somehwere else in the area.. |

As far as I know Colette Whatcroft came under the parish of Davenham...the parish church being St Wilfred's. Googling the churches history it appears that although St Wilfred's has been there since 1600s the church now was only built in 1844. Perhaps orignal graves were disturbed in the rebuild ? |

Hi Linda i've done the Parish registers for Cheshire to the hilt haaaaaaaaa..i recon they are buried there.. but no headstones..A lady names Sue put loads of burials on Rootsweb a while ago and i never saw one with the surname i am after.. I have all marriages births and burials that say Davenham so they gotta be there, I was just making sure there wasnt any other possible burial grounds |
