Hi. Here it is:- In affectionate remembrance of Mary the beloved wife of Robert Coulson and youngest daughter of Joseph and Ann makepeace who died at Coushet Leazes Jan/1/1871 age 29 years.
This is a good example of the amount of information that you can get from a small gravestone inscription. Name , husband, parents, address, age and date of death.

Adam,
Thank you.
You might want to put your notice in Co. Durham also. Although the records are in Newcastle (Woodhorn) or as of 1990 part of the Diocese of Newcastle, Muggleswick lies in Co. Durham

Hi There,
The Wren and Raine are of interest to me.
Thanks

WoW. Thanks so much..The surtees was a great help. Joseph was my 4x great grandparent. You have confirmed to me that i was right and he had previously married his first wife Tamar Angus. His second wife was Sarah Short (My Line) and now i have her age at death it will make it easier to find her death, although there are a few sarahs around that time it as narrowed it down.
Once again thankyou for taking the time to reply, it has been very much appreciated.
Kate.

Hello Lynda. Here they are:-
In affectionate remembrance of Jonathan, son of Jonathan and Isabella Raine of Waskerley Park, who died February/11/1859? aged 12 years.
Also of John their son, who died August/12/1870 aged 21 years.
And of Matthew their son, who died January/14/1871 aged 19 years.
Margaret Wren, deceased April/7/1719.
There may be more but if there is it is below ground level.
This was a strange gravestone because it has a scull and crossbones showing at the top of the stone.

Hi Adam,
Thank you for this info. I have only just started on this line so I am looking for clues....if you know what I mean. I wonder what the significance is of the skull and crossbones.
Once agian thankyou,
Kind regards,
Lynda

Hello Lynda. I do not think the 1709 stone with the scull and crossbones have any significant meaning. (other than looking grotesque)
They were all from the early 1700's
I have a number of them in my inscriptions of gravestones.

How wonderful. My Great great grandparents were John and Anne Liddell of Waskerley buried at Muggleswick. John Liddell was subpostmaster and railway clerk at Waskerley. Also buried at Muggleswick are Ann and John's daughter's family, the Grahams. MaryBell Liddell married Thomas Graham........do you have the inscription details of the Graham monument? I believe it is close to John and Ann Liddell's.
John and Anne's other daughter, Anne married John Lowes of Halt Peat Moss near Haltwhistle. They died leaving 6 young children.....4 of these came to live with their grandparents in Waskerley......MaryBell Lowes was my great grandmother...I remember her . She married Amos Ayre. Her brother William is buried at Waskerley as is Amos brother Robert.
Best wishes Diane
