Hello Again. Here is a list of surnames for St Mary's Howden le Wear.
The graveyard and the monuments are in a poor condition.
I see that the church is now redundant and it is up for sale with the possibility for conversion to a dwelling:-
Adams, Adamson, Agnew, Alderson, Bainbridge, Bains, Balmer, Bell, Bowen, Burn, Burnell, Butterfield, Calpin, Calvert, Charlton, Clark, Clement(Scrafton) Curry, Daniels?, Davison, Dawson?, Dyson, Elliott, Ellis, Eppy, Etherington, Finlay(clark) Gibson, Goodwin, Groves, Hall, Heslop, Howe, Hutchinson, Jameson(Flower) Jaques, Johnson, Jordon, Kavanagh, Kearton, Lamb, Liddell, Lockey, Luck, Marsden, Martindale, Mein, Milburn, Moore, Mountain, Norwood, Parkin, Patterson(Harrop) Patton(Cook) Peart, Powell, Raine, Ramshaw, Readman(Woodward?) Robertson, Robinson, Robson, Sanderson, Slee, Smith, Spencer, Thompson, Todd, Trotter, Varty, Wales, Walton, Watson, Whitton, Wilkinson, Wilson, Woodward.
The name in brackets show that the name is on the same stone as the previous name. This sometimes gives a clue on family connections.

Hi Adam
Please can you post Readman (Woodward) & Woodward.
I've got a Hannah Readman married a Woodward, so i'm hoping they're mine.
Cheers
Jay
Updated - I think, having looked at my tree, fingers crossed, one might be for Minnie Readman WOODWARD, hopefully the other will be her parents George & Hannah. ;D

Hello Jay. Here they are:-
In loving memory of Winnie Readman, beloved daughter of George and H. Maria Woodward, who died December/2//1923 aged 20 years.
In loving memory of Stanley, beloved son of George and H Maria Woodward, who died December/6/1921 aged 3 years and 6 months.

Hi Adam
Thanks for those.
Didn't know what happened to Minnie & don't think i've got Stanley recorded.
Will have to have a ride over & find the graves before the Church gets sold!

Hello Jean. This is a poor stone but here is what can be read.:-
In affectionate remembrance of ???????? the beloved son? of Joseph and Elizabeth Milburn, who died July/6/1875 aged ???? years.
There are parts of other inscriptions on the stone. I remember doing this one winter morning and there was frost on the stone. Perhaps it may be better reading it under better conditions.

Hi therem really interested in finding out the SLEE names - i am researching the men from Holsworthy in devon who died in WWI. Amongst them was a HERBERT NORTHCOTT SLEE who died on 26 Dec 1917 at Calville cottages. Could the grave in 'your' list possibly be him?
regards Shawn

Hello Shawn. Here is the inscription from Howden le Wear:-
In loving memory of Elizabeth, beloved wife of George Slee, who died July/19/1920 aged 76 years.
There is another for Slee at Etherley around 1881.
If you want that inscription you will need to request it on the Etherley thread.
