Adam, Thanks very much for that info. A couple jump out as being 'mine' and I am sure I will be able to fit more in. If I was in Cockfield, how would I get to Lynesack?
Regards, Vera
-
Hello Vera. coming out of Cockfield head for Butterknowle.
Go through Butterknowle (it is just a long street) and before the left hand bend at the top of Butterknowle there is a turning to the right that leads up to the church of St John. ( or just ask for St Johns church when you are in butterknowle)
You are now in the chapelry of Lynesack.

Hi Adam
Could you please give me the inscriptions for Dent

Anny

Hi Adam,
Could you advise on all the Robinsons...if there are not too many :)
Cheers
Elice
-
Hello Elice. Perhaps it may be better if you said who you are looking for, then it would enable the many experienced people on this site help you.
Your request for look ups at Hunwick, Lynesack, Satley, Howden le Wear and Frosterley for Robinson would seem that you are just hoping you can find a connection.
You can have the inscriptions but there are 21 in total.
Adam
-
Hi Adam,
My apologies...I am looking for Hannah Robinson nee Unknown. She was the first wife of James Robinson and mother of John Robinson. She died on 8th December 1864 at Lane Ends, Hunwick. I have her death certificate.
I have been unsuccessful in looking for a marriage certificate for James and Hannah to be able to find out her maiden name. I also cannot find a birth for John. I was hoping to find some information on her gravestone...or maybe someone else buried with her that would give me a clue.
James was a Blacksmith (Journeyman) and Hannah was born in Malton in 1817 according to 1861 census information (the only census I can find the family on ie: cant find 1841 or 1851)
Aside from purchasing all the James/Hannah marriages in the area (of which there are lots) I didn't know where else to look. She has been driving me crazy for a couple of years now!!
Cheers
Elice
-
Hello Elice. I have done a search of the 101 Robinson gravestones inscriptions that I have for any combinations of John, Hannah, and James Robinson.
Here are the only two that could possibly have a link.
In memory of John Robinson of Hunwick, who died July/301886 age 44 years.
In loving memory of Elizabeth, the beloved wife of the late John Robinson of Hunwick, who departed this life October/3/1916 aged 72 years.
Other than those I am afraid there no more gravestones with the Christian names or dates that you have given.
Of course not everyone could afford a gravestone and not all gravestones have survived the elements and the local council policy on health and safety.
Adam
-
Thank you Adam for checking all those inscriptions for me...the search goes on!!
Cheers
Elice

Hello Adam

In loving memory of William Parr of Butterknowle, who died August/7/1898 aged 78 years.

War grave:- 13924 private Ernest Victor Lowes, Dorsetshire Regiment, 12/June/1915 aged 22.
Adam

Brian
-
Hello Brian. I have not gone as far as Bishop Auckland with the gravestone inscriptions.
There is a Barras (but no Thomas) at Crook and One at Stanley Crook. They are about six miles or so from BA
Adam
-
Thanks Adam it was worth asking, do you have the details of the Crook and Stanley Barras just in case it is one of us
-
Hello Brian. If you want the inscriptions you will need to post the request on the correct threads ie crook and Stanley.
This gives others who may be researching BARRAS at Crook or Stanley the opportunity to read the inscriptions.
