I need a standardized place added for St James Church in New Bury, Lancashire, England.

New Bury is near Farnworth, Lancashire, south of Bolton.

I found a record of a christening for my granduncle, Joseph Davies, (KWJW-4V6). It was a Bishop's Transcript for St James Church in New Bury, Lancashire.

 

In "places," there is a location for the cemetery called Saint James Churchyard, Farnworth, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom.

 

However, I need a standardized location just for the Church itself, and this record states that St James is in New Bury, not Farnworth.

 

New Bury and Farnworth are right next to each other, according to Vision of Britain: https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/25118

 

Genuki.org also has information on the church here: https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/FarnworthD/StJames

 

By putting a marker right on the church, I get a lat/long of 53.542344,-2.412189.

 

Thank you so much for your help on this.
