Rivington and Angelzarke Country Park

Welcome to the Rivington Web Site.

My name is David A. Owen and I lived in Rivington Village for a number of years.
I have also written a number of publications relating to the village life it's dwellings, boundaries, watercourses and my experiences during the 1939- 1945 War years.
I decided I would like to share the information I had researched over many years, which includes lists of Rivington Church Baptism, Marriages and Graveyard Burial records
from 1639 to 1874.
(The above Records are not available on any other Rivington Web Site.)

For those people who would prefer to have a Disc the Church Records are now available on CD.
(NO need to make a phone call or travel,
just use the internet.)

These discs should be playable on most computers
(with Windows 2000, XP or the latest Vista)
by simply inserting the disk into the CD/DVD player.

For Details and Costs of how to obtain these disks

Please contact David Owen at david.a.owen6@googlemail.com

The Pages have been designed to to cover the various aspects of the Rivington Park and Anglezarke areas relating to the People, their Dwellings, Churches and Schools.
It is not intended to be a comprehensive HISTORY SITE.

Please use the Menu Buttons on the left to navigate through my various Web Pages
or Click on the SiteMap to see ALL CONTENTS
and SELECT any word from A-Z eg. Owen.

Thanks are due to the Library Staffs of;
Bolton,Chorley, Horwich and Westhoughton for their unfailing courtesy and willing aid.
also
to the local Press, which contains a wealth of information about Rivington and District in the form of Excerpts.

The alternative, for those with the interest and time, would be to search the above sources for these excerpts themselves.

The obituaries alone provide more information about the inhabitants than is generally available in the Church Records, and some, but not all, are included.

Many of these extracts are contained in my Web Pages or in the 4 Books, which
I have published, containing many others from 1823 to 1959.
These can be purchased as separate books.
Further details can be obtained by clicking on PUBLICATIONS (menu on the left).
