I think it is. The Lancsbmd site gives the age at death for the early egistrations whereas freebmd does not.

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1849
Surname Forename(s) Age Sub-District Registers At Reference
THISTLETHWAITE Henry 16 Burnley Preston BU/16/45

I will explore these, in the meantime I have somehow taken a wrong turn and got on to Rootschat???
I find it a bit complicated to navigate and the people are a bit serious?
Nevertheless, somene has found my George's wifes burial at Wheatley Lane!!! with their youngest who appears to have died a few weeks before his mother, which means my direct ancestor was only 14 when mum died and 16 when dad died a pauper?
The other children went down ( age wise) in roughly 2 year intervals, one can only wonder what their lives were like. This is getting depressing and I STILL can't find John the elder, if he's a Inghamite churchyard after all this I will swear!!

I wonder if they have a stone Hannah?

The Wheatley Lane Inghamite burials are available from Cemsearch. They charge a small fee per surname http://www.cemsearch.co.uk/

The Inghamite records are burials whereas other records form Cemsearch are MI's.

Ordered my list from Cemsearch, then will go up to see if there are any gravestones, but if husband was a pauper!!! probably couldn't afford one? But as she left behind children aged 14, 12,10,8,5,3.somebody must have looked after them, maybe I might find a clue amongst the names of the family buried up there.
