Adam could I get the Barras details please.
I have to say what a fantastic service to researchers your information is.
For information, There is a list held in the entry of the St Mary's Church in Barnard Castle, of all the old gravestone names, many from 1700/1800, and a locator to find the grave, these graves are all next to the church, some inscriptions are difficult to read
Brian

Hello Brian. Here is the Barrass inscription:-

Hello Tay. Here is another inscription.

Adam.
Hi Adam
I was wondering if there are any more Dawson gravestones in the St Thomas cemetery? I'd be delighted if there is a John Dawson but basically any would be a boon. :)
Many thanks
-
Hello Marie. No more Dawsons at Stanley Crook.
What year and age for John were you looking for?
Adam
-
Hello Marie. No more Dawsons at Stanley Crook.
What year and age for John were you looking for?
Adam
Hi Adam
He died in 1891 at around 36 years of age. He lived in Billy Row so I would have thought that St Thomas would be the relevant churchyard. Perhaps it is an unmarked grave? As far as I know this was the only churchyard in the Billy Row area so I can't think of anywhere else he would be. His wife was called Jane.
Kind regards
Marie
-
Hello Marie. I have had a look at all the Dawson inscriptions that I have at Witton le Wear, Tow law, Stanley , Etherley, Hunwick and Crook and there is no one with the name and date that you are looking for.
Adam

Hello Marie. I have had a look at all the Dawson inscriptions that I have at Witton le Wear, Tow law, Stanley , Etherley, Hunwick and Crook and there is no one with the name and date that you are looking for.
Adam
Thank you so much for your efforts Adam. It is very much appreciated. Hopefully he will appear in Parish Records if/when I can get to look through them. I'm assuming that these will be at the Central Records Office in Durham rather than held by the individual churches.
I really appreciate your time.
Kind regards
Marie

Hi Adamand,
Could I ask if you have any inscriptions for St. John's Church at Langley Moor. Gt.grandfather died at Langley Moor but we can't find out where he was buried. It was suggested that it could even have been at the cemetery in Meadowfield. Can you help?
Many thanks,
Doric
-
Hello Doric. The nearest that I have to Langley Moor is St Brandon at Brancepeth.
Adam
-
Hi Adamand,
Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply to my query. The name I am looking for is Schellenberg, although gt.grandad died at Langley Moor not sure if it would come under Brancepeth.
Doric
-
Hello Doric. I have no Schellenbergs in any of the inscriptions that I have.
It is not a very common name. The only Schellenberg that I have heard of is Keith Schelenberg who's family ran a business in Middlebrough .
Adam
-
Thanks Adamand for taking the trouble to check for 'Schellenbergs' in your indexes.
Keith Schellenberg is a relation via another line of the Schellenbergs. Our gt.grandfather came to this country from Germany in the 1860's along with his cousin who was the ancestor of Keith Schellenberg.
Again thanks for your time, it is very much appreciated.
Doric

Hello Adam.
Would Ellis include a William Ellis?
Forster & Foster: would any of these be Ann/Anne?
Thank you,

Hello Laurie. Here are your inscriptions:-
In loving memory of William Ellis, the beloved husband of Matilda Williams of Stanley, Crook, who departed this life May/10/1905 aged 56 years.
In loving memory of John Alfred Forster Hardy, son of William and Ann Hardy of the Tow law Hotel, who died March/2/1875 aged 3 years and 7 months.

Hello Adam
I have a puzzle as I was led to believe that John Moordaff CAPE was buried in St Thomas, Stanley but looking at your list there are no CAPES mentioned. I was looking for John M and his wife Mary Ellen ( nee GILLILAND).
I have looked at your other lists but see no Capes ( though I may have missed them) elsewhere.
John Cape was an Alderrman of Durham, I felt sure there would be a gravestone. He died in May 1938. His last known address was Mount Pleasant, Stanley, but as far as I can tell his widow, Mary Ellen, didn't die until 1961
If you don't have him in your database for this cemetery, could you advise which other cemetery I should be looking at?
Thank you
Boo
-
Hello Boo. There are two possibilities for there being no gravestone for John Cape.
Firstly, there may have been a gravestone that was deemed unsafe and would have been pushed over by the Council on health and safety grounds.
When these gravestone are pushed over on to the top of the grave it means that they are face down and I am afraid the inscription will never be seen again.
The other possibility is that he may have been buried at Crook municipal cemetery rather than the graveyard at Stanley.
I feel sure that that is where his wife would have been buried.
Crook cemetery is vast and I have only done the older parts.
So I am afraid the only thing you can do is have a trawl along the gravestones to see if you can find any Capes gravestones.
Adam
-
Hi Adam
and thanks for the explanation of what may have happened. I heard yesterday that there is a funeral/in memoriam card for John M Cape still in existence and I should be able to get the cemetery name from that. Very sad that if the gravestones were deemed unsafe that they could not have at least put them flat , but face up.
Boo
-
Hello Boo. I have found your John M Cape but not his wife.
The gravestone is in the overflow part of the graveyard with mostly graves from the late 1940's.
I did not do that part because of the dates and the condition of the gravestones.
The gravestone for John M Cape has a large tree growing in the grave itself and it is up against the gravestone.
It has his name and his wifes name followed by an eulogy to him.
Adam
-
Good Morning !
oh thank you Adam, that was really kind of you - did you actually go to the cemetery? I am overwhelmed at the kindness of folk sometimes :-) Especially as this one comes into the category of 'recent' and I see from other threads that you don't usually note/publish later ones.
So, he was buried in St Thomas , Stanley. I haven't yet seen the funeral/in memoriam card as the person who has it is away just now. Thanks for letting me know about where the grave is, I get the feeling that his wife may have been cremated ( it was more common by the time she died). Were you able to see if there was a date for Mary Ellen? ( I know the year and quarter, but not the actual date). I will trawl through the Durham online Book of Remembrance just in case there is something on there.
Thank you SO much, you really are a star!
Boo

Hello Boo. Here is the inscription. I think I have got it word for word.
The tree made it a bit difficult:-
In loving memory of John M Cape, beloved husband of Mary E Cape, who died May/25/1938 aged 61 years.
Though not idle in the higher sphere thy spirit bends itself to loving task,
And strength enough to perfect what it dreamed of here is all the crown and glory asks.
This stone is dedicated on behalf of the Spennymoor divisional labour party in honour of his great service for the people of whom he loved.
Sorry no sign of Mary:(
Adam
-
Adam
I really don't know how to thank you, but I am really grateful for all this effort you go to.
The transcription is wonderful, so nice to have and really good to know that his work was appreciated by those he served on councils and committees.
Mary Ellen was one of many Gillilands in the area, so far I have only found her brother and his wife who also died in the 1950s. They were cremated at Durham Crematorium, so I will set to and work my way through the Book of Remembrance, page by page to see if I can find any others.
I may be some time ... :-)
Boo
-
Me again I am afraid
Blushing slightly cos I am totally geographically challenged !
I have been looking on Google Maps to see if I could locate St Thomas Church and I got a bit lost. I found a website but that seemed to have everything on it apart from an address.
Is it the church that seems to be on the B6299 road going towards Sunniside where it is joined by a road called Wolsingham Road ? If it is I can see why they don't bother with an address, if you know where to find it then you really couldn't miss it round there!
Oh and is the Windsor Terrace Cemetery actually 'in' Crook or, like the St Thomas one, is it way outside the town?
Boo
-
Hello Boo. Yes your are correct with Stanley church. It is on the side of the road so you will not miss it.
The Windsor road cemetery is on the outskirts of Crook and that is easy to find.
If you are going to visit just ask anyone for directions when you are Crook.
Once again it is not a place that you can miss because it is also on the side of the road and as I said before it a very large cemetery.
Adam

Hello, I have just been scrolling thrugh the past letters as it is a while since I have been on this site and saw your letter re Alderman Cape and I wondered if you are aware that the secondary school at Crook, Co Durham was named the Alderman Cape Secondary School presumably after your ancestor. Sorry if you already know this! geni
-
Hello Adam, do you have any records for monuments at Spennymoor? I'm looking for the name of PEARSON, canyou help? Thankyou in anticipation. geni
-
Hello Genie. Sorry no inscriptions for Spennymoor.
I think the other part of your posting would be for "Tickettyboo" who asked for the inscription.
If you quote messages it easier for others to check if you quote the post number. Just a thought :)
Adam
-
Hello Geni, sorry its taken me a while to reply, been a bit occupied elsewhere.
Yes, I did know that the school was named for him, but it was kind of you to post and point it out.
Thank you!

Hello Adam,
I am quite new to this site...I already have the North Penine sites inscriptions which have been very useful for all of my Stanhope and Rookhope ancestors (Forster, Collingwood, Adamson) but I would be interested to see the inscription of the surname Freak in your list for St Thomas, Stanley, Crook. I have found bmd records on Durham Records Online for this surname but very few memorial inscriptions presumably because they were poor leadminers and couldnt afford headstones...
Thanking you in advance
Claire

Hello Claire. Just one for Freak:-
In loving memory of Amelia (Milly) the beloved daughter of John and Annie Freak, died June/21/1911 aged 16 years.
There is a gravestone for Freak at Wolsingham dated 1777.

Thanks for the inscription Adam,
The one in Wolsingham, John Freak, is proving difficult to fit into my tree as I cannot find any evidence of his birthdate which would prob be around 1686..
Thanks again

Hello Adam, Many thanks for your reply #86, definitely the correct Grinling, Susan Grinling (nee Race) was born 19 Feb 1832 Horringer Suffolk, her death on 8th May 1906 would mean she was 74 when died not 54, could the 7 have weathered to be mistaken for a 5.? Her husband Johnson Grinling was born 1833 & died 1916 age 83, pity there isn't any more info for him on the stone, but all info is gratefully received, thank you, I hope you are now fit and well after being in hospital.
Regards Gerry.

Hello Gerry. Sorry it was 74. My sheet of paper says 74 and I should have typed 74.
You mention Race. I have just posted inscriptions for Race on the Crook thread and of course Stanley is usually known as Stanley, Crook.
Thanks, I feel fine at the moment.

Thanks Adam, everything now fits in, also I will watch for connections with the Race family name in the Crook area. Regards Gerry.

Hello Adam, Just an afterthought, as your reply #86, M.I. does not give info for Johnson Grinling, could you let me know if it is possible for me to check anywhere on line, to determine if he is buried in the same grave as his wife? Thanks Gerry.
-
Hello Gerry. The only way of finding out if Johnson was buried in that graveyard or even buried with his wife would to view the actual burial register of that church. That would (I think) would be in Durham County Archives.
I do not think that would be possible on line.

Hi Adam,
i wonder if you would have any idea as to which cemetery you are most likely to be buried if you died at 5 Old Rows, Sunniside, Crook in 1902.
Looking for my last Milburn .....Jane age 34.
Thankyou
Jean

Going by the address I would think it would be Crook but it could be Tow Law cemetery.
I have had a look on all my inscriptions but there is no Jane of that age or date.
I have already posted the Crook Milburn on post 66 if you are interested.

Yes thankyou Adam ..... the Milburn post 66 that you posted for Karen, were all mine, they were my g.g.grandparents and their son's first wife, I replied on post 68.
The Jane Milburn I'm now looking for is the second wife of their son Laidler Milburn, my g.grandmother ....... I can't think where she's got to...
Many thanks for looking again

Hi Adam, Thanks for that, 400 years in the same area!

Thanks Adam, not sure if or how they fit in tree as yet.
What I'm after is from 'hand down' information that a female relative (nee Pearson but don't know which one) who married and lived at Sunniside was so loved and respected by the community there that when she died they erected a headstone and it was on the way up to the church. However it is possibly one that has been removed by the council - do they record the information from the stones before they are flattened or removed, have you any idea of that? thanks, and regards, Genie.

Hello Genie. I have found another one for you with both Craggs and pearson on the stone.
I did the graveyard in tow sections and this was put in the overflow section by mistake.
Hope it helps.
In loving memory of John Craggs of Satley Grove, who died march/8/1885 aged 68 years.
Ann widow of the above and wife of John Pearson, who died march/3/1896 aged 72 years.
As for gravestones that have been laid flat. The council put a notice on the gravestone saying that is going to be made safe.
What actually happens is that the gravestone is usually pushed over into the grave area and that of course means face down. They did not take any notes of the inscription and with most of the gravestones that were laid/pushed flat I am afraid they will never be lifted again.

Thanks for that info Adam. you have amazing knowledge! Regards, Gem.

Hello!
I saw your post on Moralle. I wondered if you had anything else??
Thank you
-
Hello ??????. If you quote the post number it makes it easier for me reply to your request.
I do have a few other gravestones :- Crook, Tow Law, and a catholic marriage for Moralee at Crook. If you require the marriage you will have to start another "subject" because I do not mix either graveyards/cemeteries and marriages.
