Paul,
Please can you help with Grave Register?  I've done a message to the Council.

Not sure if there is any access to the burail registers at Wigan & Leigh Archives. Did you see this newspaper extract on the website?

Thanks Paul,
I did have the Obit.  Mack must've picked this up to identify the case.
Cheers

Edward Price's plot at Leigh was adopted as a War Grave yesterday.  The burial must be unmarked or unclear and CWGC is producing a new headstone for the plot.
