The first occupant of the cemetery was William Barnes of Accrington House, who was buried 10th October 1864 aged 48. As there was no Accrington newspaper at this time, his burial will likely be found in the Blackburn papers. These are available on-line. PM me if you don't know how to search them
Joseph Barnes of Dyke Nook died Jan 1878 aged 67, His death will likely be in the Accrington Times, available in Accrington Library
