Burials at St Joseph (formerly Bedford RC Chapel)
in the Parish of Leigh

Two transcripts, privately produced in typescript in 1986 and 1989 by Canon Brendan Alger (then at St Joseph's, later RC Dean of the Isle of Man) cover the first two registers RCLh 1 and RCLh 2. Canon Alger has given his permission for the transcripts to be put online, and digital images were provided to us by Joseph Shovelton (originally from Leigh) whose father was involved in the transcription work.

Introductory pages for register transcript 1 and transcript 2 are shown here and give the transcription methodology.

The 1808-1831 deaths and burials register presented here is a combined obituary register (1808-1827) and overlapping burials register (1816-1831). The RC chapel graveyard was opened in 1816 and prior to that most of the deceased recorded in the register would have been buried in the graveyard at Leigh Parish Church of St Mary.
