   If it's the case I'm thinking of there were 3, Wilkinson Burgess and   
   Yarwood.   
      
   Bodies of those hanged for not-attaintable offences prior to a certain date   
   were returned to the family, i.e. not murder treason or a few other 'crimes   
   against the state'   
      
   So as residents of Northwich they would have been entitled to burial in the   
   parish church if their families wished.
