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,

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.

The new CWGC headstone has been erected for Edward Price
