The following is a notice from deceasedonline.com
Burial records for the 6th of Bolton Council's 7 cemeteries are now available.
Westhoughton Cemetery dates back to 1858 and includes many interesting burials and memorials
Its most famous feature is the memorial to the Pretoria Pit (Hulton) disaster of December 1910
This was Britain's 3rd worst ever mining disaster when an underground explosion claimed the lives of 344 miners, most local to the area, leaving many families devastated
The data for Westhoughton comprises:
Details of all graves indicating those buried in each grave
Scans of all burial registers
Cemetery maps indicating grave locations
