Hi Alan,
Hope you don't mind me suggesting that you actually spell out what it is with this - and your other posts on this board - that you'd like help with? ???
You seem to have found out so much about all of them that it is a bit difficult to see where you need the help!!
Would I be right in thinking that you are now looking for the earlier generations? In this case, the parents of William Newmarch and Anne Bullock?
I'm happy to look when I go to the Beverley RO - but I need to know what exactly I'm looking for.
Again, I hope you don't mind my comments. ;D ;D

Hi Jill
No I don't mind the comments, you are right I didn't explain it properly. I am looking for any info coming forward or back on the Newmarch's .
As to the offer to look up the parentage of William Newmarch born abt 1771 in Beverley YES PLEASE.

Alan,
I looked for your William Newmarch's baptism in both Beverley St Mary and Beverley St John parish records at the Record Office this morning but I'm afraid I couldn't see any sign of him or of any other Newmarch baptisms around that time.
Sorry!

Hi Alan,
Well, I realise it's been a fair long time since you wrote this post - but, on the off-chance that you might pick this up I'll go ahead and write anyway.
I was born and raised in Hull and, on occasion, have visited the cemetery where your William Newmarch now rests... I have always been fascinated by his grave stone, both by it's design and decoration and also by the record of William's campaigns. I was always impressed by this man who had fought in so many campaigns and survived.
I would imagine that, if someone had met the young William Newmarch in the heat of battle and told him, not only would he survive this day but live to be 83 - well, he might have thought they were barmy!
But he did survive - and he did live to be 83.
And now his gravestone stands just as proud and decorated as I'd expect he once stood... I am 38 years old now Alan, and I'm not certain if I might be half the man that William was!
I have found his gravestone so intriguing that, only today, I took a friend of mine (another 38 year-old) on a detour passed the cemetery to see William's head stone. That's how I came by your post - I typed William's name into Google and just wondered if - by chance - anyone might be searching for an ancestor... Gawd only knows I've spent plenty of hours searching my own family history and know how rewarding it can be to find a link and a connection.
I snapped a couple of photies on my camera phone, but the picture quality on this thing is really quite poor.
Do you have photographs of William's Head stone already Alan? If not then I'd be happy take another detour when I'm in that area, snap some better quality pictures, and send them to you.
Regards,
David

Alan,
Incidentally, that very last part of the inscription on William's head stone is really quite badly eroded by the elements now and is almost illegible.
The top of his headstone is really quite decorative and also bares a flag with his regimental no '20' on it, alongside carvings of weapons etc.
The cemetery is really quite overgrown - although, at times, the overgrown weeds and briars are cut back by (I think) local volunteers.
Regards,
David

Alan,
I've no doubt you'll have come across these already but, just in case you haven't ...
