Title: Ml Langton Matravers Jenkins look-up please
Post by: medhist on Thursday 10 April 08 18:24 BST (UK)
I have found a reference to a Monumental inscription in Langton Matravers Churchyard to Harry Jenkins of Corfe Castle d.1869, his two wives Charlotte and Martha, and several infant children.  The reference given is Monuments in Langton Matravers Churchyard  by RJ Saville.  If anyone has access to this book or to the churchyard itself could they find the full inscription please?  Many thanks.

Hi medhist,

Langton Matravers MIs are listed on www.familyhistoryonline.net ; I've not used the site but I understand the costs are modest.

Thanks.  That is where I found the reference.  It doesn't give the Inscription, just who is in the grave.
I wanted to see if there is any more detail.

I'm helping the Dorset FHS record the MIs in Poole cemetery and we note down all the details; perhaps that is all there is.  Some have very little detail on unfortunately.

Thanks.  From the way it is worded with the reference given for further info I think it implies there is a more detailed inscription.

Another route to try if there are no Rootschatters near Langton Matravers:


If it was one transcribed by the Dorset Family History Society they offer a look up service;  www.dorsetfhs.org.uk
