St. Mary's, Clayton - burial records

Anyone know where I can have a look at the 1800's burial records for St. Mary's CLM?
Would Accy library have a copy?

And is there any particular reason why so many Irish families came to Clayton in the mid 1800's?

Thanks,
Steve

Steve might it have anything to do with the construction/maintenance of the Leeds - Liverpool canal? And the fact that there was a lot of industry along the banks of the canal
Can't help you with the burial records.

Makes sense re. the canal as I've found an ancestor who's profession was "Outdoor Labourer"

Thanks for the Lancs OPC link.

It would be interesting to see the 1841 census . It may give the place of birth of those named. The canal was finished in 1816

I would be surprised if the Irish potato famine was not the cause of many of the new arrivals. Certainly some of my ancestors came to Accrington for that reason in about 1850.

Don't think that would help, the 1841 census for Acc just shows born in Lancs, sometimes the answer was No. The 1851 has a column for Town and County, but by then a lot of those who worked ontut Cut could be dead.

Just remembered one site that may help, its called ROOTSWEB, I used to be a member donkeys years ago, type in the name you want find, and probaly some one else has already done it and posted.
The Irish records of B.M.D. can be very expensive, a heck of a lot more than our recrds offices.

Hi Clayton library has a copy I think. Possibly the Irish people came because of the mills, the quarry and the canal.
