- In July 2015, Ormskirk and District Family History Society organised a tour of Ormskirk parish church, which was supported by more than forty members and visitors. This video was created using photos and information from that evening.
Ormskirk and District Family History Society is a registered charity (no. 1004895) dedicated to encouraging people to research their family history in south-west Lancashire. You can find us online at www.odfhs.website or on Facebook at OrmskirkDistrictFamilyHistorySociety/
Is there a list of the people buried there?
A really good place to start is actually the Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website; it's completely free to search and their volunteers have transcribed the burial registers from 1557 to 1645, then 1658 to 1906. Our society has also published gravestone transcriptions for different sections of the graveyard, and if you follow the link to our Parish Chest shop, you can find a description of each of the different sets of Ormskirk church records, which might be helpful if you're trying to find out whether people with a particular surname had a gravestone. (Not everyone did, and a lot were moved - I think in the 19th century - but some of our members have done research to try to match them to their original locations.) If we can help with anything else, please let us know.
