thank you everyone I have the information of John Hall Fell already as above and I thank you for your kindness, I was just wondering if he was buried in the graveyard at Rathmell. Lords is a place not a person xx

What is it you would like to know about Lords and Gisburne Forrest?

You can contact someone at Rathmell here:-

http://www.rathmellvillage.org.uk/contact/

They may be able to look at the parish records for you.

also Halton west please

Lords, Gisburne and Halton West are all fairly close to each other. What do you want to know about these places?

Kath. x

Historically they were part of the parish of Long Preston.
The following PR are held by North Yorks County archive
http://archives.northyorks.gov.uk/DServe/dserve.exe

Registers of baptisms 1563-2010, marriages 1563-2000, banns 1824-1966 and burials 1563-1894.

If you're looking for burials, the church may still hold the records. Alternatively if the graveyard was full, you could find related records at the nearest municipal cemetery.
