Bethesda Independent Chapel Burials, Leigh.
These records come from the Burial Register of the old Bethesda Chapel in Newton Street, Leigh. The earliest entry was in 1815. The first few entries up to 1827 appear to have been copied from an older book, or more probably from the Grave Book.
The ground was closed for interments in 1856.
