Hello Jean. Here is a nice stone for Fothergill. I hope it one of yours.
At the foot of this stone rests the mortal remains of Richard Fothergill, who after an active, useful, and benevolent life, finished his earthly pilgrimage in the seventieth year of is age. As he had lived, he died, in a full and firm reliance on the promises of the gospel.
Fifty years of this good mans valuable life were occupied in the faithful discharge of his duty as a schoolmaster.

Hi Adam,
I wonder if I could trouble you for the MI's related to the surname Thornton. I am particularly interested in Johns and Williams if there are too many to put up on screen.
Thanks for all the hard work you are doing, it is a godsend to so many of us who can't get to County Durham very easily.
Regards,
Kate.

Like I said before, I do not do look ups for any name other than what is requested from My first posting on each subject.
I do put them all down in alphabetical order so they are easy to find.
If I did not stick to the system that I have things would get very complicated for me.
And also if I keep all the places separate and posted in the correct way, others doing research on the same name can use the information.

I will look at the thread for Lanchester, but if the transcriptions are not there, would you be able to post them?
In appreciation,
Maureen

Hello, Adam, Thanks for your prompt reply. My great grandfather, Christopher Heslop, born in Swaledale c.1855 was buried in Witton le Wear in 1926. I believe his second wife, Mary Ann (nee Coates) also born in Swaledale c.1857 was buried with him in 1939. They lived in Garten House and had the following children; Edward (edmund) 1885 - 1951; Mary E. 1883; Martha 1886; Rebecca 1890 and 1895. Would welcome any information on the family and, indeed any other Heslops from Witton area.. Ron H.

Hi Adamand
I have two Scottish, possible relations, John Pilmers age 80 and George Pilmer age 76 brothers, who in the 1901 Census for Witton Le Wear, Durham were shown as farmers. Your Inscription list shows there is at least one Pilmer buried in St Phillips & St James + Municipal Cemetery at Witton Le Mer.
I wonder if you can provide me with the inscription as this will let me verify whether my records are using a birth date or a christening date and I do not have death dates for either one.
Colin

Hello Adam

Hi Adam
I'm new to this site. Can you help with inscriptions for Smith or Kirkley from Witton Le Wear, please. In particular Thomas Smith from Witton Le Wear who died in Hartlepool, January 1852 aged 29years? He was married to Ann kirkley from Witton Le Wear and 1851 census has them at Waterloo Inn, Prissick Street and he is Inn keeper there at headland Sedgwicksfield.
Thanks
carol
-
Hello Carol. I only have the inscriptions for those buried at Witton le Wear so your Thomas Smith and his wife would have been buried at Hartlepool or is last place of residence.
There is one Witton le Wear gravestone for Smith but it is in poor condition. Most of it is very weathered, but here is what can be read.
In memory of Christopher Stephenson, late of the C????????, Durham, who died August??????? ?5 years.
Likewise to preserve the memory of Hannah Smith, wife of Robert Smith of Witton le Wear and daughter of ?????????Dixon of To (possibly Tow Law)
who died January ? 1857 age ??
Also of Judith Ann, daughter of the above named Robert and Hannah Smith, who departed this life in infancy.
Adam
-
Thanks for your help Adam. The names don't seem to match any of mine though. ??? Where do you think my other Smith's or Kirkley's are most likely to have been buried if they resided in Witton Park, Witton Le Wear, around 1851-1901 census. Anglican? ::) One marriage cert has them down as being married in Witton Le Wear Church in 1843. Can not find any baptisms for children at that time in that area to link them with a particular church? I have tried Durham records on line which is a good source of information but there are so many districts to check through, Its a bit daunting.
Carol
-
Hello Carol. It all depends on where they were living at the time of the death.
If they were living at Witton Park then it could have been Witton le Wear ,
Etherley, or Witton Park municpal cemetery. (I do not have the inscriptions for Witton Park)
I do not know the start date for Witton Park cemetery but I think someone on the board will know.
If they moved to say Hunwick they could be buried there.
I say that because I have 2 gravestones for Kirkley at Hunwick. plus a name on the war memorial.
Adam
-
Hi all
Witton Park cemetery only oped in the 1940's.
If it were my family i'd be looking at WLW, Etherley, Escomb & St Andrew Auckland.
Cheers
Jay
-
Adam,
I must say that your work is fantastic and inspirational.
I would very much appreciate details of the inscriptions for Finley, Findlay and Findley.
Harry

Does the Dickenson inscriptions include a Janet and a James
Brian
-
Hello Harry. Here are the Finley inscriptions :-
In loving memory of Ellen Finley, born 13/September/1861, died 12/June/1926?
In loving memory of Thomas Finley, born 26/February/1857, died 21/March/1929.
The two above were in a double grave, (side by side ) possibly husband and wife?
There are another two gravestones one for Finlay and another for Finley
but they are both are way after the 1950's.
Adam
-
Hello Brian. No Janet or James, just John William and Elizabeth, George Joshua and Esther and Mary and George.
Adam

Sorry, no Anthony gravestone.
Adam
-
Adam

-
Thanks for asking for the Jackson's Roger & Adam for posting them. John Fawbert & Mary Jane are in my tree :)
Adam do you have any idea of the location of the grave? I've been to WLW cemetery a few times but never spotted that one, maybe that means it's in the churchyard as i've never been round there yet.
Cheers
Jay
-
Hello Jay. I did not make a section map of the gravestones. On hindsight I should have done.
The gravestone is not in the churchyard (47 gravestones)
It is in the older part of the cemetery (206 gravestones)
I did not go outside of the older part of the cemetery where all the recent burials are.
If you are going to visit then now would be the best time because later on they will all be overgrown.
It seems that the older part tends to get neglected.
Adam
-
Cheers Adam, i'll have a ride over & a scout about.
Jay

Hi Adam,
Sorry to be a pain, but have you any Thomas Jolly in your list in the Witton Cemetery, I know of none in the churchyard.
