27 Nov 1842, Manchester Collegiate Church of Our Lady, St Denys and St George (later Cathedral) 48 years
Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable
none known
After many searches of the IGI, non-conformist bmd registers and Lancashire online parish clerks, I think Christopher could have been the son of Sarah Eccles, baptised in 1786 in Darwen Lancs. He is not the son of George and Ann Eccles baptised in 1790 as the non-con. bmd registers have a burial for that child in 1793.
But there also seems to several Eccles families in Manchester, just none with a son Christopher in both the IGI and Lancs Online Parish Clerks.
There seems to be some link to the non-conformists as many of his descendents are buried in non=conformist parts of Phillips Park and Manchester Southern Cemetery, although they used the Collegiate Church/Cathedral for baptisms and weddings.
