Bollington Parish Archives – https://www.bollingtonparisharchives.co.uk/ Family historians may be interested to note that it provides a free search facility of the burial registers and memorial inscriptions for St John’s churchyard and columbarium, correct up to 2020. It is also possible to search earlier volumes of baptism and marriage registers for St John’s and St Oswald’s churches, including baptisms at the former C of E chapel at Kerridge. The Online War Memorial includes details of casualties from the Bollington area in both world wars, as well as brief histories of most of the local men who served in WW1. The site also includes a personal selection of hymns complete with soundtracks so that you can sing-along. There are some old favourites as well as others you have almost certainly never come across before. I suspect some are not even in the Cyber Hymnal! |
