Was this a district? But it seems strange if it is, that she was buried at All Saints?

Locally Tyldesley is known as “Bongs”; believed to derive from the old Lancashire dialect meaning 'hill' or 'bank'. This name gives us an idea of the topography of the surrounding area.

I suppose that it is feasible as people then just wrote down what they thought the other person speaking to them had said.
