Have a book somewhere that celebrated the centenery of this mill around approx. early 80's with the history and lots of pictures. ... will have a search. The group was known as Enfield.
I feel though that if you are visiting Oswaldtwistle Mills that Peter Hargreaves would be delighted to chat to you about this.
If you know the approximate date of burial (records are of burial, not death) and name of your ancestors ... then a visit to the office in Accrington Cemetery will soon reveal whether your ancestors are buried there ... they are extremely helpful.
