I am interested in finding more info on the French family.
William French born 1791 married Alice Turnbull who died June 1849. Do you have info from an inscription by any chance? I know that they lived at Helm Park and had lots of children.
Capmelton
-
Hello Capmelton. There are no early gravestones for French.
This is the earlyest stone and I remember it(and I make notes) because it was leaning over as though the Council gravestone wreckers have been having a go at pushing it over. It is a very nice stone and would benefit by putting upright again. Many of the stones have been pushed over (usually face down and never will be seen again) Other stones have been removed and stacked alongside the boundary wall like a load of paving slabs on a building site.
Anyway thats my moan out of the way. Here is the inscription:-
In loving memory of our dear mother Elizabeth French, who died January/25/1929 aged 78 years.
Also our dear father, William French, who died January6/1911 aged 61 years.
Also our dear sister, Hannah Elizabeth, who died April/19/1912.
Also our dear brother, Matthew William, who died November/25/1914 aged 27 years.
Also our dear sister Sally, who died May/17/1915 aged 24 years.
There may be more information at the bottom of the stone but that is all that I could see.
By the way the stone is at Tow Law.

Sue

Hello Sue.

And one 1990 with the person aged 80 years.
I do not post these later date inscriptions but you can have the details if you think they are of use to you.
Adam
-
Hi Adam,
it's not the couple I was thinking of as he died in 1894 & she was 70 in 1901.
However, checking my records I've found another branch of the family was in Wolsingham in 1901, it's possible that the MIs refer to this branch so I would be interested in further details, thank you.
Sue

Thank you very much Adam!
-
Hi again Adam,
Are your MI's for tombstone inscriptions only, or do they include memorials inside the church as well? (if not, do you have any idea how I might go about finding out about memorials inside the church?)
I was expecting a few more Whitfields, as I believe they were a fairly prominent family in the area in the mid to late 1700's.
Suppose it's a possiblilty that stones have since been removed, damaged or worn .... :-\
Thanks for your help.
-
Hello Ruskie.
I think that Whitfield House circa 1750 along with cottages on the right hand side dated 1677 and holiday cotage on the left from the mid 18c may be connected to your family.
I will have a look in the church to see if there are any memorials to the family.
As for gravestones, I remember telling someone who had the same problem as you have with gravestone memorials in Wolsingham, that there is a house in the village with a cellar paved out in old gravestones.
Of course that will have been done a long time ago.(and they are not laid face up)
It would be interesting to know the names on the stones.
Adam
-
Thanks for the reply Adam. You are correct about Whitfield House which I believe was built by one of my ancestors (Matthew, if my memory serves me correctly).
I would really appreciate it if you would check inside the church (please don't go out of your way - any time is absolutely fine).
How interesting to hear about the gravestones in the cellar. I agree, it would be fascinating to see what names are on them.
I take it you live in Wolsingham?
Once again many thanks. I really appreciate your kindness.
-
Hello again. What I should also have pointed out is that there are seven or so gravestones that are listed because of age and style but are unreadable.
Maybe the Whitfield could be among st them.
Adam
-
Hi adam
Thought you'd missed me.
Thanks, they are mine.
Cheers
Jay
-
Thanks again Adam. Suppose we'll never know :(.
-
Hi Adam, could I have the Mitchell/Maughan details please? Ian
-
Hello Ian. The inscription for Mitchell/Maughan has a date from the 1970's(age 92)
I do not post inscriptions from after 1950 but if you want it I can post it via the personal mail.
There are a couple of other stones from the late 1800's for just the Mitchel names. Do you want those?.
Adam
-
Hello Ruskie. Finally got in to the church today. It has been a bit difficult because they are without a parish priest at the moment.
Sorry to say that there are no Whitfield memorials or any mention of Whitfield inside the Church.
Adam.
-
Hi Adam
Could you tell me the inscriptions for the two Johnson surnames on this list from Wolsingham
Thanks
Shirley
-
Hello Shirley.
There are 17 gravestones for Johnson, dating from 1761---2003.
The two shown :- Johnson and Johnson/Wayper were just showing what names I had in my data base for Wolsingham. In the full data base(covering most of Wear Valley I have 85 Johnson gravestone inscriptions)
What dates are you looking for?
Adam
-
Adam,
Many thanks for the time and trouble you have gone to looking for Whitfields inside the church. There were several Whitfields buried in Wolsingham but their headstones are probably long gone.
I'm very grateful for your help.
Thanks a lot.
-
Hi Adam
Sorry,I didn't realise there would be so many Johnson's
I am looking specifically for Wolsingham C of E and pre 1800
Hope that narrows it down to a more manageable number-if not let me know.
Thanks
Shirley
-
Hello Shirley. There is only one early inscription. All the rest are in the early to late 1900's. Here it is:-
Here lies the body of Frances, wife of George Johnson, died June/4/1761 aged 26 years.
Adam

Hello Ed. Here is the wolsingham inscription:-
In loving memory of Harold ?arke?, only son of Robert and Margaret Ann Wraith, who died December/13/1924 aged 18 years.

Hello Adam,
Would you be able to lookup any Whitfields in Wolsingham please, there was quite alot in my family.
Thank you very very very much.
-
Hello ?. I have already posted whitfield inscriptions on posting number 42.
Here is another that I missed when I posted it to Ruskie:-
In affectionate remembrance of Thompson Whitfield of Wolsingham, who died March/30/1887 aged 70 years(could be 76)
Also Elizabeth his wife, who died November/11/1891 aged 76 years.
Also William, son of the above who died March/7/1893 aged 38 years.
There is also one for 1967 with the person aged 95 years but that is way beyond my 1950 cut off date for posting.
Adam
-
Thanks again Adam ;).
Hello Tanfieldancestor and welcome to rootschat. I will contact you by PM about your Whitfields.

Hello Lynn. Here are inscriptions for Rutter :-
<Snip>
> Sacred to the memory of William Rutter, of ????? Hill who departed this life September/7/185? aged 59 years.
I have a lot of RUTTERs at Toft Hill at about this period. Could your ????? Hill be Toft Hill?
> Also Phoebe Rutter, daughter of the above William and Mary Rutter, who died April/14/1850? aged 16 years.
One of my Toft Hill RUTTERs, Thomas, married Phoebe CROSBY 17 May 1834, at Auckland St Helens.
Given the family's naming patterns I suspect this Inscription might have something to do with my lot.
Any comment?

I can't thank you enough, Adam, this is wonderful. There are so many Anguses and it is difficult to sort them out without first--class information such as this.
Thanks very much once more

Thanks
Tom

Hello Tom. Here is the inscription:-
In memory of John, the beloved husband of Isabel Kirtley of Thistlewood House, Wolsingham, who died January/11/1912 aged 55 years.
There is another gravestone but the burial dates are after 1950's my cut off date for posting on the board.
The dates are for a person aged in the 80's dying in the 1980's
If you require it I will send it by personal mail board.

Hello again Adam
could you please post the Armstrong listings for Wolsingham. Just as a matter of interest - my ancestors were all primitive methodists and as most of the chapels have gone from Weardale, where else could some one who died in the late 19c and early 20c be buried, none of them seem to be any where near to where they lived and worked.they have just vanished!!
many thanks in advance.

Hello Polly? There is only one gravestone for Armstrong at Wolsingham.
It is not in the best of condition but here is what is readable:-
In memory of Jane, daughter of Edward and Ann Armstrong, died ?/September/1811? aged 16 years?
Also Edward, who died 21/July/1812 aged 42 years.
Thomas, died July/19/1836 aged 30 years.
As for burial places in Wolsingham. there is St Mary and St Stephen C of E,
St Thomas Roman Catholic and The Baptist Church.
Of course there are others in the surrounding areas, Frosterley only four miles up the Dale, Tow law another couple of miles up towards the A 68.
I have posted these and they do have Armstrong names.
Adam

Hello Adam,
Can you help me? I am looking for inscriptions for Brownless and Henderson. Also which graveyard are they in?
Thanks
Pyrite
-
Hello Pyrite.
There are only a few Brownless gravestones and quite a few for Henderson. The stones are at Brancepeth, Wolsingham, Tow Law, Willington, Witton le Wear, Hamsterley, Lanchester, Etherley, Crook, Stanley Crook, St Ellen(Auck) Satley. Garrigill
You need to go to the first posting on each subject where a full list of Surnames are posted.
Then post your request for the information.
Do not post a multiple request because that may mean many gravestones.
I did Have one request and it meant a total of 100 gravestones.
To be fair to the person they did not know how big the task was when they posted it.
Adam
-
Sorry Adam,
I meant which churchyard in Wolsingham. I'm assuming there's more than one?
Pyrite
-
Hello Pyrite. Henderson in St Mary and St Stephen, Church of England.
Brownless in St Thomas, Roman catholic.
Adam
-
Thanks Adam sorry for the confusion,
Please can you post the inscriptions from the Brownless and Henderson stones in Wolsingham?
Pyrite
-
Hello Pyrite. Here they are:-
In memory of Joshua Henderson, who died October/3/1857 aged 64 years.
Also Elizabeth, wife of the above who died June/20/1872 aged 85(the 5 could be a 3) years.
Also of Mary Henderson of Wolsingham, daughter of the above, who died January/7/1892 aged 82 years. This one is from St Mary and St Stephen.
There are two other gravestones in the C of E churchyard but they are from the 1950's and later.
The next are a pair of identical stones and I think they may be man and wife.
George ????ton Brownless, died 12/October1912 aged 48 years.
Margaret brownless, died 10/June/1911 aged 39? years. These two are from the St Thomas Catholic Church.
Adam

Thanks Adam - my ancestors are actually from St Johns Chapel but I have been to all the cemeteries there and as far up as Rookhope and found none of them. Two were self made men with businesses that were thriving at the time of their deaths so I cant imagine they had paupers or unmarked graves. Its a mystery.
Should I ask for Armstrongs for Tow law and Frosterley on those pages so it makes sense to other readers?
thanks
Yvonne (Pollyflinders)
-
Hello Yvonne. There are no Armstrong gravestones of any age beyond Stanhope.
the answer to your other question is Yes. Keep all the request separate so that others can find the information that is posted.
What are the christian names and dates of the Armstrongs that you are looking for?
Don't forget that not all gravestones have survived the ravages of time or (my pet subject) the vandalism of the councils in the name of health and safety,
of the pushing over, and more than likely face down, lots of very fine gravestones.
That is the reason that I started recording the inscriptions.

Hi Adam
I have just been reading the Gravestone campaign threads and other postings from Weardale. I am new to rootschat so it will take me a while to catch up. I will try not to ask questions that have been asked before but as I am sure you will understand, when you have come up against a brick wall with the family tree its hard not to be inpatient!!. I am looking for Thomas William Armstrong b 1870 died 1910 in Crook, his father Thomas Armstrong b 1840 Daddry Shield, died after 1901 but unknown date. His wife was Mary Ann nee Heatherington so they might be together. James H. Armstrong (son of Thomas and Mary Ann) born 1886 St johns chapel - last known address Cowshill pub approx 1923. Ralph and Elizabeth Philipson of East Blackdene Ralph b1839 Elizabeth b1841 but I don't know when they died. I would also like to find their daughter Jane b1870 and their granddaughter Elizabeth Grace Philipson but as both of these ladies will have married I may never find them. So far I can find no evidence of Jane after 1896 when she gave birth to my grandfather and her daughter Elizabeth grace was born 1895 ( my grandfathers sister) I think Grace married William Robinson of High Jollybody Farm but cant find a death cert for her as Mrs Robinson. I believe she died between 1979-1982. Its a muddle and I deeply regret not asking for this information before living relatives who would have known these ancestors have themselves died.
Any help would be appreciated
regards
Yvonne
-
Hello Yvonne. There are Armstrongs at Crook but the are in the late 1800's
There are philipson's at Willington. In fact a Ralph and Elizabeth but not the correct dates.
You will have to be careful that you do not get the Ralph mixed up because there were two Ralph Philipson at East Blackdean aged 22 years (1861 census) one was a joiner the other was a mason.
Adam
-
Hello again Adam
yes the two Ralph's were related (cousins of sorts) and the younger Ralph's brother Thomas lived in the cottage between them. I have been to East Blackdene and have seen the terrace of three houses they lived in and have been sent an old photo of the terrace by the weardale museum. When I blew this image up on my PC there was the outline of a young girl outside of my ansestors house that was the image of my great aunt Grace (spooky) The stone mason Ralph was my g,g, grandfather.
Thanks
Yvonne.

I would appreciate information on Eggleston/Egglestone inscriptions in any
cemetary--- but in Wolsingham in particular. Thanks.
Robert Eggleston bobeggl/gmail.com
-
Hello Robert. Sorry about the delay. Been away for the weekend.
There is only one for Eggleston at Wolsingham, and that is for a late date.
Dates of 1970 and 1992.
I won't post it in case it offends any relation who may be alive.
If you want the inscription I will send it via the personal post.
There are two others inscriptions from Edmundbyers with dates in the mid 1700's.
You will have to request them on the Edmunbyers heading.
This keep them separate and helps others who are researching the same name
Adam
-
hello, I'm new to all this and any help appreciated - with any inscriptions at wolsington for Mcmahon and Mcgough families also any christenings.
thanks for your time, Anne
-
Hello Anne. There are two gravestones for McMahon and three for McGough.
They are way past the date of the 1950's that I use for the cut off dates for posting on the board.
You can have them if you want, but it will have to be via the personal message board.
It will appear on the board like this but no one else can view them.
As for the McMahon and Mc Gough baptisms, there are loads of them but I can not mix gravestones inscriptions with baptisms.
If you look at "look up requests" you will see I have posted a message about Wolsingham(note Wolsingham) and Tow Law.
With the names that you posted I assumed that they were catholic, and If so, they will be grouped together because Wolsingham and Tow Law shared the same priest.
At the moment Tow Law is linked with Willington and Wolsingham is linked with Crook.
So I think if you read the instructions and send in a request (It will be the first)
I will see what I can do
Adam
-
Hello. I seem to be getting more requests for look ups from people requesting M Inscriptions and also Baptisms on the same request.
I do not mix them both and that makes it easier for me, and I would thing fellow researchers.
In my last posting I said anyone requesting baptisms would have to go to the requests board. In fact I should have said Look up offers board.

Many thanks for the Burnip records of Wolsingham. The John Burnip died 23 May 1803 is not my direct line but is a 1st cousin to my Anthony Burnip/Burnip b 1697 Wolsingham.
John & Elizabeth (nee Gibson) referred in your records did have a daughter Phoebe bpt 18 may 1763 Wolsingham, so the 10 yr old Phoebe may be their ganddaughter, who died 1 March 1804 approx 10 yrs old. Ive found other grandchildren buried with grandparents in my research.
Thomas who died 24 May 1792 was a suprise, I hadn't found his batpism, will now search for him.
Many thank

hi Adam,
I have a bit more details for you about the Baker, Horsley inscriptions.
The Horsley ones for john 1879, robert 1908 and elizabeth not sure about the date. All the dates are approximate. Any others around the dates would be good, other names are jane, william and another john.
The baker ones are any john george or Jane, up to the early 1900s.
Hope that is some help, any details that you find would be great.
Thanks a lot

Hello Adam ... I'm very new to this, so forgive me if I am asking you to do something you cannot, or have grown tired of doing ...BUT ...
...are you aware of any pre-1800 inscriptions/deaths of LAWS (or perhaps spelt LAWES) in C.of E. Wolsingham? I am looking for anything that might assist ..
I do know that Hannah Laws was baptised 1777 St Mary & St Stephen, and her father Thomas Laws baptised 1736, her mother Ann and Thomas Laws were married at the same church in 1760 ...and also Thomas Laws 1691 at Wolsingham too. So, am wondering if there might be burial inscriptions????
Many thanks - Jo

Hello Jo. Here is the one gravestone inscription for Laws:-
Here lieth the body of Thom Laws, who died June ye 4th 1761 aged 34 years.
A sober just and honest man boast more ye rich man if ye can be.

Hello Adam,
I would be very interested in any MIs you have for the CARR and CHARLTON families, if this would not be too much trouble.
I also have links with these families in the Tow Law and Thornley village area, shall I post separate requests in these threads? I don't want to duplicate my requests if it will annoy you :)
Many thanks,
Em
-
Hello Em. Yes, just post the request on the correct thread and it makes it easy
for others to find the surnames in he correct place, instead of searching at random.
I have spent the last couple of days indexing the surnames and the places that I have posted because I have been getting duplicate requests.
I can now see at a glance previous postings and so avoid the duplicates.
Your surnames Carr inscriptions have been posted at Crook and Willington (won't tell you the posting number because that would make it to easy :)
Charlton has also been posted at Willington.
Here are the inscriptions for them at Wolsingham:-
Sacred to the memory of John Roddham Carr LLD, barrister at Law, who departed this life 4/September/1887 aged 87 years ( the rest of the stone is unreadable)
In loving memory of Ivy Elizabeth Carr, beloved wife of Wester Carr, died November/30/1944 aged 45 years.
In memory of John Charlton, who died at Tow law, January/28/1879 aged 38 years.
In loving memory of Phoebe Charlton, died May/18/1918 (could be 1910)
aged 87 (could be 83 ) I say could be because the stone is affected by the dreaded lichen and of course it has to be where the age and date is )
There is another stone with a single name entry 1824 --1996
If you require that one i will send it via the personal mail link.
Adam

Hi Adam,
Thanks so much for those names, I can't see a link yet although I hoping Mr Carr the barrister is related ;D.
The later date won't be necessary thanks.
May I just say what a wonderful help you are to share these MIs with people, and your organisation and indexing is something I admire, I must be the scattiest person in the world, you really don't want to see my desk ;D
I will go through my paperwork and post on the relevent threads when I know what I am definitely after for the other areas, thanks again,
Em

Hi Adam

I was looking for Thomas Espin died 1912 and his wife Eliza died 1891. He was the vicar. I had a quick look in the church yard near the church but could not find them.
Your list only shows Espinell but this was a middle name ?
Regards Colin
-
Well Topcat2, as Adam is doing stirling work for benefit of others he can only put down the names which are on the Gravestones on the various churchyards which he has visited etc, nothing more nothing less, so please do not upset him for the excellent work he has done, he has help me and thousands of others on his various postings, as he need not have put any of his work on here.
Jolly Roger

My comment was not in anyway a criticism, I am looking for help.
The Espinell may be another relative and Vicar Thomas Espinell Espin may have been buried elswhere.
I appreciate the effort it took to compile the inscriptions and to try and answer queries.
Colin

Hi Adam,
Having just discovered a line of my tree going back to Wolsingham, I would be grateful if you could look up the family names of Lee and Richardson.
Thanks for offering such great help,
Best wishes, Jo
-
Hello Colin. The reason why "Espin" did not appear on the my first posting is because I did not know what the surname was. I now know it is Espin.
The gravestone was one of the lead infill type typical from around 1890 - 1920ish.
Two of the letters have fallen out or been damaged, hence the missing Espin.
Here is the inscription:-
In memory of Eliza Espin, beloved wife of the Rev Thomas Espinal Espin, DD?. rector of Wolsingham and Chancellor of the Dioceses of Chester and Liverpool.
(No dates of death or age of person.}
There is a gravestone for Rev Espin at Tow Law.
If you want that inscription please put it on the Tow law thread.
Adam
-
Thomas Espinell Espin died 1914 born 1824
Eliza (nee Jessop) died 1891 of Flu born 1830
I think DD is Doctor of Divinity
I have been to the site but could not find the grave, although I now think I could, (helped by information I gained today).
The a burial of their son Thomas H E C Espin 1858-1934 perpetual curate of Tow Law, I have already visited and photographed.
I also have a copy of "The Stargazer of Tow Law" which was the document that brought these relations to my attention.
I have more information about these people and their ancestors, if anyone is interested.
Thanks Colin
-
Hello Jo. What dates are you looking for in relation to the Richardsons?
I have three early gravestones and three modern gravestones.
Adam
-
Hi Adam,
Just the early gravestones, thanks.
Best wishes, Jo

Hello Jo. Here what I have for the Richardson and Lee :-
In loving memory of John Lee of Wolsingham, died August/12/1897 aged 74
years.

In loving memory of Matthew, son of John and Jane Richardson, who died January/22/1813 aged 43 years.
Jane Richardson, died October/4/1843 aged 72 years.
To the memory of Catherine Richardson, daughter of John and Jane Richardson of Wolsingham, who died October/23/17?1 aged 72 years.

This stone was a flat tombstone and affected by lichen and that is all that could be read.
The other was for 1948 with the person being 87 but I think that was to late for you.
Adam

Thank you very much Adam.
Best wishes, Jo

Hello Carolena. Bell is a very common name in the dale and I have a total of 55 gravestone inscriptions for Bell.
14 of these are at Wolsingham, ranging from late 1800's up to the present day.
Could you let me have some idea of the dates that you are interested in, bearing in mind that I use the 1950's for the cut off date for posting on this board.
Any dates after this would come via the personal mail
Adam
-

Many thanks
Kay
-
Hello Kay. I have already posted the inscriptions for Whitfield on this thread.
As it is your first posting I will tell you that it is post number 42.
It is a good idea to read the postings because you never know what useful information you may find.
As for the Hopper name , are they C of E or Catholic?
I have two C of E and one Catholic.
Adam

Sorry, Adam :-[ - have now found the right post.
The Hoppers are C of E.

Hi again,
I sent you a message and now it appears that I should have sent the request here. I found the list of monumental inscriptions on a google search but did not know how to send a request and so when I saw your name under durham I sent the request.
Can I have the Johnson/Jackson inscriptions for Wolsingham or are there too many?? I must have a link in somewhere as they are in the area for a good few years! Sorry to duplicate the message but I am just now getting the hang of this!
Emma
-
Hello Emma. There are 5 inscriptions for Jackson. I will sort them out and post the ones that are before the cut off date of 1950.
In the meantime I can tell you that I have posted inscriptions for Jackson's on the following threads:-

Hi Adam,
I am quite new to this, but have read through all previous postings so as to not ask you to repeat a task, I hope. Could you post the inscriptions for Dent and Kitchener please?
Thank you
Bron

There is one gravestone for Dent but it is from the 1970's
onward.
I think that may be to late for you?
Adam
-
Thank you Adam,
All a bit late for me. I'm trying to find a connection between the two families prior to 1800. However your posting has led me to Durham as both families seem to be in this County.
Bron
-
Hello Ed
I see that you are trying to find a connection with the Wraith family in Crook County Durham. I notice that someone has given you details on Stephen Spark Wraith which is My Grandfathers Uncle.
Do you still require information on the Wraith family?
-
Hello Wraith. In case someone else is looking for Wraith inscriptions, the posting for Wraith at Crook is post number 4. and the posting for Wraith at Wolsingham is post number 62.
It is always helpful to quote the number of the posting especially if the Surname is on a gravestone along with other family relations with a different surname.

Adam

Adam - This is in response to your suggestion I post my 'Bells of Wolsingham' query in this section.
You can apparently provide inscription information directly from the gravestone - this is very handy for me because my wife Norah and I live in Mandurah Western Australia (80Km south of Perth) so a bit far to travel.
The info I have so far........
Thomas Bell born 1811 in Wolsingham. He married Mary Hodgson born 1820 in Stanhope Durham. They had several children including Jonathan Bell born about 1857. Jonathan Bell married Mary Ann Elliott born in 1851 in Warboys. They in turn had several children one of which was Jonathan Ralph Bell (my Grandfather) born in 1891 in Edmonton Hertfordshire. JR Bell married my grandmother Dorothy Clough, a decendant of the Cloughs of Cleckheaton Yorkshire. It looks like the Bells and the Cloughs moved from their respective parts of northern England around 1870 to Hertfordshire and the rest is history so to speak.
Sincere thanks for any info provided - nn.

Hello
I am interested in Elliotts from Wolsingham specifically Thomas born about 1792 and his daughter Jane born about 1839. Can you help?
Best Regards
Mike
-
Mike,
The only Elliott on my tree is Mary Ann Elliott born Alconbury Huntingdonshire 1851. She married Jonathan Bell born 1851. Her Father was William born 1816 - Mother Mary born 1829. No record of a daughter Jane. So connection to your Elliott branch unknown.
Regards - nn.

Sorry message was meant for Adam I am just learning
MikeB

Hello Mike. I have Elliott inscriptions for about 64 gravestones from the Dale (12 for Wolsingham) although most of them would be far to late for you.
Do you want the Elliott inscriptions for Wolsingham regardless of the christian names.
There is one for a Thomas Elliott but the birth date works out at 1797. How sure are you of the 1792 date
that you give?
As for Jane, do you think we may need a married name?
Adam
-
Hi Adam,
Not sure about 1792 or even Wolsingham but Jane Ord nee Elliot could be buried elsewhere, thought if Jane a family name there may be others of that name in Wolsingham, I am presuming that Thonley Elliots would be buried in Wolsingham! Am I correct?
Regards
MikeB

Hello Mike. Here are four inscriptions from Wolsingham Parish Church :-
Sacred to the memory of Robert Elliot of North Shields, who died at Wolsingham 29/August/1874 aged 79 years.
Sacred to the memory of John Elliot, died march/8/1848 aged 83 years.
Jane wife of John Elliot, died May/24/1812 aged 42 years.
Ann wife of Christopher Heads and daughter of John and Jane Elliott, died September/11/1830 aged 42 years.
In memory of the Rev Joshua Elliot, incumbent of Thornley, in the parish of Wolsingham, died February/16/1855 aged 45 years.
Also Martha, wife of the above , died February/8/1865 aged 49? years.
In memory of Thomas Elliot of Hedley Hope, who died February/27/1872 aged 75 years.
Margaret, wife of the above, died August/26/1872 aged 70 years.
Thomas their son, died February/20/1830 aged 4 years.
Mary their daughter, died April/20/1830 aged 1 year

I must say that you are researching one of the most difficult names.
There are so many and they seem to be inter related with just about every well known name in the Dale. But good luck.
Adam

Hi Adam
thanks for the information.
I have a Great Great Grandmother called Jane Elliot who was born in Thornley County Durham about 1839 with a father called Thomas Elliot a miner who I originally thought was born in 1792 but now could be about 1811! I have her marriage certificate in Seghill Northumberland 4/4/1859, but have been unable to confirm her birth or her parents despite many certificates and searches. I have had a suggestion to try Stockdale family in Teesdale but no sucess so far. This mother of Jane is the only Great Great Great grandparent I still have to identify, so am trying anything any one suggests.
regards
MikeB
I am aware there is another Thornley in Durham and am trying there as well.

Hello Mike. Sorry I can not help. Told you it was a difficult name.

Hi Adam,
Can I have the Parkin names please
Thanks
Tinner

Hello Adam, can I bother you for the MI's for Wall and Forster (C of E or chapel) in Wolsingham.
Also do you have the MI's for Rookhope, Westgate and Stanhope on other threads or are these not done yet? I'm interested in the same names.
Thanks Gem

-
Hello Gem. Yes I have inscriptions for Stanhope. I did not include the first page/posting of Surnames like I did with the other threads because at the time they were available from Pennine Ancestors.
The Pennine Ancestors site as now gone.
I will not be posting the surnames but will respond to a look up of a Christian name and surname with
possibly of a date.
Adam
-
Thanks Adam, this is a bit more complicated as I have so many ancestors spread throughout the dale and I don't know who will be in Stanhope, Rookhope, Westgate, Wolsingham or Wearhead. So if I say that the most common names are Henry Wall, James Wall, and Edward Forster do any of these names show on your lists? Gem
-
Hello Gem. Sorry to be pedantic but I do not do cross postings.
I only post Wolsingham gravestone inscriptions on this thread.
If you want any info about Stanhope you will need to post it as a new topic.
Adam
-
Hello Gem. The gravestone or Wall is 1959 and gravestone for Forster is 2003.
Adam
-
Thanks Adam - it's not being pedantic, you're doing the work it's me that never gets the hang of the correct procedure!
Anyway, can I have the Wall 1959 MI, I'm not interested in the Forster one for that recent date. Thanks. Gem
-
Hello Gem. Sent by personal message because of the date.
Adam
-
Hello Adam
I would be grateful for the inscription for Harle(Heseltine Reed)
Many thanks
Elaine
-
Hello Elaine. I think you will need to post a (new subject) "Catholic baptisms"
I have Harle, Dixon, Norwood, Reid, Heseltine mentioned in baptisms that all seemed to be linked in some way.
I am sure that you will be the only one able to make sense of them(if they are yours.
I will look for the inscriptions that you requested and will post them.
Adam
-
Thank you very much for your help Adam
Elaine

Thanks for the inscription for Wall, Adam. The date is a bit too recent for me to be able to classify at the moment as I'm still stuck in the earliest 20th century but I hope it will prove useful as I move on a bit. Thank you. gem

Hi Adam!
I know it is a couple of years since you posted the list of MIs for Wolsingham, but could I impose on you for the details of inscriptions for the Mitchelson family. I have recently been researching them.
Many thanks for all the great work you do on RootsChat.
Regards,
Lazytee.
-
Hello Lazytee. There are 3 gravestones for Mitchelson but they are all after the 1950's cut off date that I use.
Going by the ages on the gravestones they would have been born around the late 1800's or the early 1900's.
You can have them by the personal message system if you think that would help.
Adam
-
Thanks, Adam. I will PM you.
Lazytee.

Hi Adam
This is a great work.
If you get chance and there aren't too many, could we have any hutchinson, Lowther Young inscriptions? If there are too many could we have especially the Hutchinson ones please?
(All conceivably part of our travelling clan with the Berry's).
Thank you for all the good work you do.
Best wishes

Adam,
I noticed you hadn't got any Cheatham headstones listed at the beginning of the thread. There were a couple of headstones by the far wall of St Mary and St Stephen's Wolsingham (far left wall from entrance from Church Lane) - tower of the church side of the churchyard .
Last time I visited Wolsingham the headstones were in a very bad way being under trees etc and the large headstone was leaning but I have details of them from a previous visit.
Just a newbie so I can't pm.
Best wishes,
Carole
-
Hello Carole. I have added the Cheatham surname that I have to the list. I think it would be a good idea if you posted the difficult to read gravestone. It may help someone.
Adam

Elizabeth Cheatham died 14th Feb 1915 aged 70 years

Hello, this is my first time on the site so please excuse me if I sound a bit green.
I am looking for the surname ADAMSON Anthony in Wolsingham, the family would appear to have been farmers in the area and related to the Vasey surname. The family would appear to move away from Wolsingham to Oakenshaw by 1841 and then to Yorkshire by 1861.
I look forward to your assistance and advice. Many thanks Lynn
