Bury is in Greater Manchester in the old county of Lancashire. Greater Manchester has existed since 1974. Unlike Merseyside, Greater Manchester was never adopted as a postal address. It is similar to say Croydon, Surrey. Croydon IS in Greater London and not in the county of Surrey for purposes of administration. In the south of Greater Manchester it is possible to have a "Cheshire" address (eg Stockport, Altrincham).
Bury is one of the ten districts making up Greater Manchester and includes the town of Bury, Ramsbottom, Tottington, Radcliffe, Whitefield and Prestwich. Coming from Manchester city centre you cross the boundary into the borough just a few miles up the road. Prestwich, Whitefield and Radcliffe do have Manchester post codes. The rest of the borough has BL codes (Bolton).
The short answer therefore is yes, Bury is in Lancashire. "Greater Manchester" is just a concept that has been used for administrative purposes. Croydon remains in the county of Surrey.
The population of Bury, Lancashire is about 60,700 people as of the 2013 census.
