Julie,
I think you have been misled !! according to the Parish Register
List at Oldham Local Studies they only have the burial register records up
to 1888. The same goes for Manchester Central Library.....unless the online
listings are out of date.
I know that when we (MLFHS Oldham Branch) did our burials project
the register for this period (1905) was still in the safe at the church.
This was about 5 years ago but it may be the same. I think you should try
contacting the church direct at: or phone
01706 847369 (Rev Richard Watson)

regards

Colin
Chadderton Oldham
