Hello Judith:
Have the MI book for the driffield cemetery and it has listed the following Reastons, Anne, Beatrix, Edward, Eliza, Jane Grace, Johnx2, Julia Georgiana, Thomas.
Would you like the information?? The Edward is not the one you wanted.
Cheers
Anne

Hi Anne,
Yes please,I would love all the Reaston's you mentioned,they are all related to the Edward and Elizabeth I mentioned.
Wonder where Edward and Elizabeth would be buried,as far as I know they spent their whole lives in Great Driffield.
I appreciate your help.
Best wishes.

Judith:
Will send the information to you, it is possible that Edward and Elizabeth are buried there but have not headstone or what about Little Driffield???
Cheers

Hi Anne,
I was just going through the notes I made from the Parish Records for Great Driffield,it seems that occasionally Reaston was written as Ruston,were there any Rustons in the M I's?
Best wishes.
Judith
PS were there any Jeffersons or Shepherdsons?
-
If they were buried in 1810/11 they will be in the churchyard not the cemetery, as this wasn't opened until 1865.
All the headstones have been cleared away and laid at the back. Have you checked the burial register for All Saints?
There are no Headstones at Little Driffield for this name.
-
Hi Edmund,
Thank you for that information,I was in Beverley last month checking out Parish Records,but didn't know anything about this family at the time.
I will have to wait until next year when I hope to be in England again.
Thanks.

Hello Judith:
Think you will really like this first entry. Lots of information... Wonder if Standiland was a mother's maiden name.. My great great grandfather was called Frankish and that was his mother's maiden name. Here goes:
William S. Shepherdson died 24 Jan. 1867 aged 4 years and 4 months, Frederick Shepherdson died 18 Nov. 1887 aged 16 years and 3 months Ann Shepherdson born 16 Oct. 1830 died 15 Nov. 1904. John Frank Shepherdson J.P born 8 Oct 1828 died 30 Sept 1913, George Shepherdson died 10 Oct. 1967 aged 74 years , Elizabeth Shepherdson died 1 Nov. 1870 aged 80 years, Joseph Shepherdson born 17 Aug. 1860 died 25 Oct. 1910, , Mary Ann Shepherdson born 26 Jan 1863 died 22 Nov. 1943, William Shepherdson died 12 Oct. 1884 aged 67 years.
Wow, what a lot of information off just one headstone.. Something everyone wishes they could find...

Hi Judith:

In loving memory of Standiland Shepherdson of Driffield born Feb. 9 1848 died 15 Dec. 1875 , also Winifred his beloved daughter born Dec. 6 1874 died at Derby Nov. 14 1901.

Anne

Again, many thanks for all your help,I have been able to add a great deal to this new found line.
Yes,Standiland was his grandmother's maiden name.
Best wishes.

Hi Judith
If you are looking for info on the SHEPHERDSONs where STANDILAND was the maiden name, you are looking for info on the family of Robert SHEPHERDSON & Patience STANDILAND.
However, the other SHEPHERDSONs mentioned such as John Frank, Joseph, Mary Ann, etc in the Driffield cemetery are not the same family line.
If you would like to contact me at
Moderator comment: Email address removed to avoid spamming etc. Please use our personal message system to exchange such information
I can help you with your family lines as I know quite a bit about all SHEPHERDSONs.

Hi Judith
Did you ever find out where Edward & Elizabeth were buried? I think they may be my ancestors also, but cannot even find their marriage. Their son James appears to be my line.
Regards, Judith

Edward Reaston was buried at Great Driffield on 12 April 1811, carpenter, aged 77. He left a will and a copy will be held at the Borthwick Institute in York.
Can't see Elizabeth at the moment but will keep looking.
