Thanks Adam,
I have been round that churchyard twice now and cannot find that one, the George and Jane that is just in from the gate is Robert's father and mother
Roger
-
Hello Roger. Keep the exercise going and this time look under the yew trees:) If I remember I had a job with this one.
I looked at my transcribing again and saw that it had a verse between Robert and Esther. I do not normally put in the verse
on my postings because it saves time, but here it is.
(Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away)
I thought to myself at the time that is was appropriate because it was in the shade of the tree.
Let me know if you find it.

With regard to the entry for Dorothy Brownbridge on page 1 of this topic - she was 16 years old & not 66 when she died. She was the sister of my late father, Kenneth Burn Brownbridge, and the daughter of my late grandparents, Arthur John & Mary Ellen Brownbridge late of Toft Hill.

Hello?????? I always start my message Hello and the name of the person. and always sign myself off with Adam.
I always quote the post number and the number of the one that you are quoting .
Regarding your post number 76 that was referring to post number 10. You will notice that I have put a question mark against the age because it was of the grey granite type that would have once had gilded letters.
Now there is no gilding and it was very difficult to read.
I have posted the surnames for 26 graveyards/cemeteries covering nearly 10,000 gravestones in Wear Valley so if you require a look up feel free to do so.

Hello Hutchinson. Here is the one inscription I can post here. There are another two but the dates are way beyond my cut off dates for posting here. The birth year date of the pair(I think they be man and wife) would be about 1905. Can post it via the personal mail if you require them.
Here is the other one that is OK :-
In affectionate remembrance of Mary, the beloved wife of Hardy Hutchinson, Garden House, Toft Hill,
who died April/21/1889 aged 62 years.
Also John their son, who died May/17/1870 aged 12 years and interred at St Helen, West Auckland.

Hi Adam
I'm new to this but I am looking for a Phebe or Phoebe Rutherford 1860-1885. She was born and died in Etherley. Have you come across a headstone for her or any other Rutherford? Thanks Fiona
-
Hello Fiona. None for Rutherford at Etherley. If you go to the first posting of each thread you will see a list of surnames that are on the gravestones of the particular churchyard or cemetery.
There are Rutherfords at Hunwick, Crook, Satley, Stanley Crook, Willington and Brancepeth.
But none of them have a Phoebe Rutherford.
Adam

Thanks for looking Adam. My gt gt grandmother is proving to be quite elusive!!! I'll check the other posts you mentioned. Thanks again. Fiona

HI, I am new to this, but noticed you had mentioned you had inscriptions for Rowley in Etherley Church, I wondered if you could help me, I believe two or three of my family members are buried there and wondered if you knew the names on the inscriptions.

Hello Anasgran. There is 1 gravestone for Rowley.
I can only give the inscription for one of the names because the other two are way past my cut off date for listing here.

Hello Adamand, new to RootsChat having just signed up yesterday 23/11/10.I note your knowledge of MI for Etherley Churchyard and wondered whether you may have come across a headstone for the following: John William NORMAN, interred at Etherley, who died 26th March 1929. Also Florence Annie NORMAN (daughter of the above)who died 6th October 1957; interred at Etherley.We have searched the churchyard to no avail. Have also contacted the church in the hope they have a burial record, no joy there either.Many thanks in anticipation.
-
Hello Harperley. There is not a gravestone for the Norman family that you are looking for.
My first post number 1 contains all the surnames of people that are buried in the graveyard/cemetery
and of course the name Norman is not there.
The only Norman gravestone inscription that I have is at Hunwick and that is for the mid 1800's.
Adam
-
Thanks for your time Adam, we are aware of the Norman at Hunwick, he is one of ours, Rev.Samuel Norman, died 1881. Any ideas about a 'burial plan' for Etherley? We know they are in there, just a question of where?? The Altons at Etherley are also ours.Once again Adam, thankyou.

Hi Adam
I am searching for the Rudd family in St Cuthbert's, I visited a couple of years ago but looking for another grave at the time, George Wood. George was my great grandfather although I believe there's no headstone, and the Rudd's were the owners of our home, and I am trying to find the history of the building I was born in, in Low Etherley. If you can be of any help I would be extremely grateful.
In anticipation

Hello Splinter. You do not give any appx dates for your Rudd family.
When you last searched the graveyard at Etherley did you find any Rudd gravestones?
Did George Wood have a middlename of Winterton?
As for tracing the history of the house in Etherley? I think that would be difficult.
You may get a photograph of the house if it has any historical interest by going to :---

Hi Adam
Off topic I know but just wanted to thank you for the site http://www.geograph.org.uk/ - brilliant resource - so much information and fantastic photos.
Thanks again
Caz.

Hi Adam
May thanks for your reply - I do apologise for not being more informative. George did not have a middle name as far as I am aware and I think he may be buried in the 'paupers end' down in the corner behind one of the big trees.
As for the Rudds possibly mid-1800s into mid-1900s - I intend delving into directories with this info. I think there were a few headstones Oct 2009.
Many thanks for the link too, that could be very interesting.
Keep up your wonderful work, it means an awful lot to us that cannot reach such places on a regular basis.
Wish the same was available for Netherwitton in Northumberland - can't find anyone to help me there at all with Gilfellon. Never mind
As I say a big thank you
Regards

Hello again,
My husband's 2xGt Grandfather was Thomas Firbank who lived in Stobart? Cottages Escombe in 1871. I believe he died in 1879.
Could he be the burial in Escombe.
I thank you for taking the time to do all this work. I live in North Wales and the time I get back in the North East is never enough to do all I need to do.

If you want I will post all the Firbanks that are in my data base. That will be for Hamsterley, Crook, Escomb and Stanley Crook (excluding the Etherley inscriptions).
