I believe there are other Culshaw graves in Leyland but had no more time to look. The Leyland graves appear as part of Helen Culshaws family tree.
If anybody lays claim to the other families or knows any more info. please let me know so I can update my database.
The final remark is a plea, we are still looking for the last resting place of Thurston Culshaw born 21st Dec. 1860 in Tarlescough Moss (wife was Mary Alice Dawson, married 2nd Jan 1886 Rufford). This is my girlfriends Great Grandfather, and according to family discussion (Uncle Clarence Culshaw) he was alive and living in Leyland in the early 1920's.
If any body knows of or sees and appropriate grave please let me know.
Cheers,
John Markham
Newbury, Berkshire
