Over the moon Adam ...... thanks very much George Milburn is my g.g.g.grandfather .... he remarried a Margaret in 1853 after Jane died but obviously was buried with his first wife in Crook.
Just got to find the cemetery in Crook now.
Thanks again
Jean
-
Hello Jean. There is not a gravestone at Crook, Stanley Crook, Willington, or even Tow law for Jane or George Milburn.
Have done them also.
Adam
-
Ahhhh....... Jane died at Crook but the death cert says 'sub district of Hamsterley' they previously lived at Evenwood ......... have you any idea where they would be buried?
You've opened a few doors Adam with these inscriptions.
I've been looking to see which son married 'Barbara' the daughter in law and I think it looks like William in 1855 ..... as I couldn't find him ..... no wonder ... the marriage was in south shields ........I didn't think of looking for him there.
This is great...
jean
Just thinking .... it must be Evenwood
-
Hi Adam,
Thanks so much for this inscriptions. Now I have to figure out how everyone fits into my tree. They are not the Charltons that I have but probably related. Same with Davison.
thanks again for your help
Peggy G.

Whilst I expect that most of my Langstaff/Longstaff are buried at St Andrews,your data is helping me sort the various pedigrees.
My group appear to be mainly butchers and innkeepers.
Thank you for your help.

Hello Adamand
I was hoping those Atkinsons would be mine....alas not. Your original list includes an Atkinson with Banks, could you post further details on that name please?
Amanda :)

Hello Amanda.
Here is the other inscription that you requested.

Adam

Thankyou for that info Adamand,
My 3xGt Grandmother's brother was called John Atkinson but he was born in 1799 in Hamsterley. I looked up the John and Elizabeth from the gravestone in the IGI and the 1851 census; unfortunately the gravestone year of birth is correct and this John was born in South Shields. :(
Nonetheless many thanks for your efforts :)

I don't know where I saw Young and Wright - but I noticed a message and thought I should reply to that and then didn't as was in a rush. Thought it was Auckland but might not have been........ It wasn't yours then? Tis a Mystery....
Thanks again :D

Also Elizabeth Stonebanks daughter of the above who died at Evenwood, Sep/3/1851 aged 26 years.

The rest of the stone is below ground level and unable to read.
Adam
Adam .. sorry to bother you again ... but I was wondering if you have any idea which cemetery the above 'stone is in.
I've been raking round the nettles in Evenwood this morning ... but no luck.
A lady did say that quite alot of headstones were taken away a few years ago so I'm wondering if it's gone. .... do you know when the inscriptions were taken?
If it's not in Crook and not in Evenwood... oh ..I also had look round St Mary's at Cockfield and was going to go on to West auckland.....but decided to get some fish and chips instead .... lol
Jean
-
Hello Jean. Yes I know it is at St Helen Church, West Auckland because it took a long time for me to complete those inscriptions. If you go through the oldest (nicely kept) part of the churchyard to the back of the church (not so nicely kept) you will fine the Stone. How can I describe it? Lets say it is Norman arch shape. It is in good condition although you may have to do a little gardening to find the date at the bottom of the stone. There are only 308 stones in total but I think you will find it OK. Let me know when you do.
Adam
-
Great Adam.....thankyou.
I was just about to go into the churchyard at St Helens today ...... then double backed when I saw the fish shop open opposite. ......parked in west auckland and ate my dinner...
will make a trip back.
thanks again
jean
-
Hi Adam.... I see what you meant about 'not so well kept' ....... just been and found the headstone ....... (the last one I looked at).
It seems to have sunk a good 2 feet ..... one thing, it wont fall over.
Hope nobody thought my husband and I were grave robbers.......digging in the cemetery.
I would never have found it without your help...thanks.
there's another inscription further down.
'Also Margaret second wife of the above named George Milburn who died at Etherley May 7th 1872 age 72 years.'
So now I know they are all there ..... a threesome..... I took some good photographs.
Thanks, very much appreciated.
Jean
forgot to ask Adam .... you don't have a John Milburn died 1913 anywhere in the area ...... his wife mary is the one you gave me buried in Crook 1919......I was wondering where he is!!
-
Hello Jean. The only other John Milburn that I have is another John and Mary Milburn buried at Satley but that burial is 1891.
I do have Milburn inscriptions at Stanley(Crook) Howden le Wear, Willington, and Tow Law(but not John)
Adam
-
I wonder what happened to John Milburn....... he died six year before Mary and I don't think they left the Crook area ..... they were living in West Roddymoor in 1901 in St Catherine's Parish Crook.
He's my g.g.grandfather ...... I haven't sent for his death cert yet ...... I suppose that's my next step.
Can you put the Milburns up that are in Stanley and Tow Law if you have the time please,
Thanks Adam
Jean
-
Hello Jean. Here are the inscriptions for Stanley(Crook) and Tow law.
In loving memory of Mary Ann Milburn, died march/15/1933 aged 70 years. ( Tow Law )
In loving memory of Robert the beloved son of William and Elizabeth Milburn of Stanley, who departed this life Dec/9/?? age
??year and ?? months.
Also Elizabeth, wife of the above William Milburn, who died February/6/1902? age 64 years.
Also William Milburn of High House, Tow law who died November/15/1908 aged 67 years. (Stanley, Crook) This stone is in a poor condition:(
In loving memory of Sidney the beloved son of Laidler ans Ellen Milburn of Sunniside, who died march/6/1930 aged 15 years (Stanley, Crook)
-
Thanks Adam...that's brill ....Laidler Milburn was my g.grandfather and Ellen was his third wife, they were at Sunniside in 1901.... gosh the family are all spread out across the area when they died. Laidler and Ellen went down to Herne Bay in Kent.... so they will be buried down there.
I think the Tow Law headstones will be mine as well
thankyou again......you're a star
Jean
Meant to say..... poor Sydney fell off the back of a bus and received fatal head injuries
-
Hello Jean. Here is the inscription for Milburn at Crook.
In loving memory of Mary, relict of the late John Milburn of High Hope street, Crook, Who died January/10/1919 age 81 years.
Adam
Adam ...when you say Crook .... do you mean High Jobs Hill ?
I found young Sydney's today in Stanley Crook ........ but what a size High jobs Hill Cemetery is ...... I had a quick look in the old part over the wall but couldn't see anything ...... thought I'd just check with you first before I go round the lot.
thankyou
Jean
-
Hello Jean.
The graveyard is at St Thomas, Stanley, Crook.
Go up through Roddymoor and turn left at the top.(I think it is the B6299)
The church is a little way down on the right.
I did not do the ones that were over the wall, to the right.
They were in a poor condition and anyway the weather was freezing. I think I may force myself in to completing them sometime.
Adam
-
Yes Adam......that's where I went today ...St thomas, Stanley Crook ...... and found Sydney Milburn's grave...... It was the cemetery for just Crook I was meaning ...... is it the cemetery between High Jobs Hill and Low Jobs Hill. ... I don't really know what it's called.....but it's quite big. ... with a low wall at the front.
It doesn't really matter Adam ...... I going back up to look round anyway ......
There's quite alot of cemeteries in the area when you start looking.
thanks again
Jean
I forgot to say .... boy! it must be a labour of love doing all those headstones ....you deserve a medal .......
-
Hi Jean
According to WVDC website Crook Cemetery is down as being at Windsor Terrace.
Cheers
Jay
-
thanks Jay ........ saw Windsor Terrace on the Wear Valley website .... but couldn't figure it out .......... thought there must be two cemeteries ..... just looked at an OS map ........it's all clear now.
There's a back entrance at the other end of the cemetery on High jobs Hill ... it's quite a big entrance with gates ...... trust me to go in by the back door!!!
thanks both
Jean .....the mists starting to clear.
-
Hello Jean. I have also done the Windsor rd cemetery:)
Well, the older gravestones.( 874 inscriptions)
That is where the Laidler Milburn is.
There is also one for Tow Law cemetery :- In loving memory of Mary Ann Milburn, died March/11/1933 aged 70 years.
Adam
-
Oh Adam .... that's great.....you're doing my job for me and saving me no end of leg work...... It makes life easier (for me ..not you) when I know where to look.
I did look in the older part of Windsor Terr... but only for a few minutes ..... I was shattered and thought I'd go back later and look round properly.
It is great if you say there's a stone for Laidler in there ..... but strange as he died in Herne Bay, Kent ...... however ...Laidler is mentioned on the stone at St Thomas's, Stanley Crook that you gave me ... as the father of Sidney Milburn..... maybe that is what you are thinking of with it being such a strange name. ... giving me Sydney's stone in 1930 has helped me a lot .. as I now know that the family did not go down to Kent until after 1930.
It's a wonder you're not 'bog eyed' doing all these inscriptions.
Thankyou
Jean
-
Hello Jean. The gravestone should be easy to find.
It is a large one and the inscription reads:-
In loving memory of Ann the beloved wife of Laidler Milburn of Crook who died November/30/1891 aged 30 years.
Adam.

Just noticed your post above Adam .... thankyou so much.
Mary Ann May was Laidlers first wife of three ...... very careless with his wives !!!
So she was buried as 'Ann' ..... not 'Mary Ann' .. although she's on all the census as Mary Ann ... if it wasn't for the fact that he had the name 'Laidler' ... I would never have found these people ........ and with your help of course.
Thanks again

Would it be possible to post the Alderson MI for me.

He appears on the 1851 census as father of my Gt Gt grandmother Isabella wilkes b 1848 Shildon mother Unknown. Her marriage cert (1866) however gives no fathers name but a Thomas Alderson is a witness.
Any info on Thomas & family would be appreciated.

Thank you Adam. It doesn't help me in my quest for Mary Garrey, my 3 xgreat grandma who married Anthony Nicholson in 1799 in Sunderland. Their daughters baptism very kindly shows her as the daughter of John Garrey, neighbourhood of Bishop Auckland. But she is proving very illusive ;)
However I will keep what you have posted incase I can tie it in at some future date.
Many thanks, Linda

Hi Adam,
I am interested in the Borrow inscriptions.
Thanks in advance. Much appreciated!
Aja

HI
I'm interested in the Kilburns you would have listed on the Monumental Inscriptions....
Keren
-
Hello Aja. Here is the only inscription for Borrow.

Hello Keren. There are two for Kilburn. One readable the other I am afraid is badly weathered but I will give you the words that can be read:-
In memory of Ann, wife of William Byers Kilburn, surgeon of West Auckland, who died June/25/1860 aged 30 years.
John ???burn, surgeon of West Auckland who died May?/1/1852 (could be 1832.) I am guessing Kilburn for the surname because of the possible link with the other Kilburn surgeon.
Adam

Hi Adam
I'm interested in the name Carter, especially John and Isabella who were living in West Auckland when their son Richard was accidently killed. I've got my fingers crossed that there might be a M.I for one of them.
Many thanks
Jenny, Australia
-
Hello Jenny. Sorry Jenny. No gravestones for the Christian names that you mentioned.
When I saw this posting I thought there may be quite a few for Carter but there are only 6 in my full list.
1 for Wolsingham, 1 for Etherley, 2 for Lynesack, 1 for Willington.
Here is the only one for St Helen, West Auckland.
I am afraid this one is in a bad condition.
In memory of George Carter, late of Beck ???, departed this life 30/June/1809.
The rest of this stone is totally obliterated.
Adam
-
Many thanks for looking Adam. I really didn't have high hopes of them having a M.I.
Your efforts are really appreciated.
Cheers
Jenny

Hello everyone. I have a gravestone inscription for Lowson at St Helen at West Auckland.
Should I send it by P.M ?
Of course not. I post all my inscriptions on the correct thread and then everyone sees them. I thought that was the idea of the whole thing.
Anyway here it is :-
Sacred to the memory of William Lowson of Pit Green, who died the 2nd day of August 1823 aged 86 years.
Also Ann, relict of the above named William Lowson, who departed this life on the 10th of January 1831 aged 88 years.

Also of his wife Margaret Lowson, who departed this life on the 4th day of March 1868? aged 94 years.
Modify :-
Whoops. There you are!!!! I broke my own rule because I should have posted it on the West Auckland thread , it could have then been seen in the correct place.
Adam
-
Hi Adam
Am very interested in any MI you have at St Helens for the EDEN family?
Many thanks
Kay
-
Hello Kay. And just the one for Eden:-
Here lie William Eden, 7th Baronet of West Auckland and 5th Baronet of Maryland, USA. Born 5th April 1849, died February/20/1945.
And of Sybil Frances Eden, his wife, born 9th April 1867, died 17th June 1945.
Adam
-
And yet more thanks, Adam.
This one is more puzzling though as was hoping there would be "earlier" Edens. Need to do a bit more research!
Thanks again for your very quick response.
Kay
-
Adam, why should you have posted the Lowson one in West Auckland MI, it is set in the Wall of the St Helen's Church, so you have it in the right place.
JR
-
Hello Roger. But that was posted back in June.
I think I was making a point at the time but it is now history.
Adam

Hi Adam, could I please have the MIs for Glasper

-
Hello Anny. Just the one for Glasper:-
In affectionate remembrance of James Glasper, the beloved husband of Betsy? Glasper of West Auckland, who died September/18/188? or 189? aged 60 years.
The stone is affected by lichen and as usual it where the date is.
Adam
-
Hope you don't mind Adam, I have Cleveland FHS MI's and the year is 1890 all the rest is the same.
Jolly Roger
-
Hello Roger. Not at all. It was covered with lichen when I did them and I will not removed the lichen because I think that ruins the gravestone inscription. I leave well alone.
Adam
-
Hi Adam, thanks very much, yes it is 1890 as Jolly Roger says, my ggg uncle I think.
Anny
-

Hi - I wonder if there might be an inscription for an Ann Heslop, died sometime after 1861. She was born 23.12.1784 I believe.
Many thanks!
-
Hello. There are two gravestones for Heslop but none mentions Ann Heslop.
Adam
-
Hi Adam - thank you for looking, much appreciated! Could I ask what Heslop names the two gravestones contain, please?
Many thanks.
-
Hello Whipby.

but I think that if they are yours you may get some information.

Thank you very much for the information, Adam. It sounds like you made a special trip to look at the stones - I was assuming that you had a typed transcription document that you could just look at!
Unfortunately I can't tie in these Heslops with my own, at the moment, but do appreciate your effort on my behalf and will keep the information in case I do ever find a link.
Many thanks again.

-
Hi Adam, thank you for those, that's very kind of you.
The Mankin's are cousins so great to have that.
I hadn't come across thos Chamberlains before and I can't find them in the censuses either, but they may well be relatives so I'll dig around a bit more.
Was there another Chamberlain headstone? I just wondered as it was Chamberlain (Robson) in your list which caught my attention as I have links to both Chamberlain's and Robson's in Auckland but didn't know of a marriage between them.
Thanks again, Paul.
-
Hello Paul. Yes there was a Robson but it was on the bottom of that stone.
It does not give a lot of info because it was so difficult to read but here it is.
"Also Ann Robson who died ?? ???????18?? age 31?.
Not a lot of help I am afraid.
Adam
-
Thanks again Adam, it gives me a little more to go on. Your efforts are much appreciated. Paul.
-

Hello!
most of my northern ancestors seem to come from Bishopthorpe in York, but the mother of my 4xg grandmother was born in Gainford.
Posted below what I found about what is presumably her, but I also see that her father, Henry, is said to be a 'native of Paddock Mire St H Auckland'...first link I have to any of my family from there.
Pretty sure Henry's grandfather & father were Joseph & Robert (m Ann Kirkham) respectively, but wondered whether if any M.I's indicate any longer establishment of 'my' Wades in the area?
Much obliged for any information on offer!

Hello Tomatillo. Sorry there are no Barron gravestones at West Auckland.
On my long list I included the Barron entry for Stanley that was just after West Auckland.
I have since corrected the entry.

Thanks for your time Adam
-
Hi Adam,
You wouldn't happen to have Selby for St Helen's would you?
Thanks
Cassie
-
Hello Cassie. I do not have any for Selby.
St Helen was my first posting with the offer to look up gravestone inscriptions.
At the time I thought that there may be to many names on the first posting so I split them. ie
A--O and P--Y.
On all the graveyard/cemeteries that I have posted the first posting has all the surnames on the gravestones in that churchyard.
So the best thing is read the first posting and then read the messages and you may get lucky and find what you are looking for and if not, request the information and I will post it.
Adam
-
Hi Adam,
Thanks for the reply.
I've looked but none that match mine.
However i have found one of mine, my grt grt aunt, you've posted a Elizabeth Ann daughter of Metcalfe and Ann Bell of Gordon, died March 1868, could you tell me where abouts this grave is?
As i'd like to go and see it.
Thanks again. :D
-
Hello Cassie. I am afraid you will just have to go and search.
I did not do a map of the graveyard. It is not a very big graveyard anyway.
Adam

Could you look up the entries for Little? I'm particularly looking for Elizabeth Little (died Dec 1870) and William Little (died Jul 1871) both of St Helen Auckland.
And is there a Mary Brown (died Jan 1879)?
Many thanks

Hi Adam,
you're doing a great job providing these inscriptions - Good on you!
Have you any Todd inscriptions in the West Auckland area? There should be quite a few as it was a common enough name in those parts. Any you have would add to my store of knowledge.
Many thanks,
Simon

Hello again. On the first posting of the subject M inscriptions St Helen I posted a list of all the surnames that are on the gravestones in the graveyard )St Helen is in two parts)
When you posted the names Prout and Regan I thought I had made some mistake because I could not find them.

Sorry about that.

Just browsing these listings - an excellent job by Adam. I've just done a comparison with my own listings of Moses at http://lastrp.com and found I have one more for the same church yard. Details are as follows:
“Sacred to the memory of Thomas MOSES, son of Thomas and Lydia MOSES late of West Auckland who died April 8th 1843 aged 23 years.
In the midst of life we are in death.
Also John MOSES, son of the above who died May 5th 1844 aged 20 years.
Be ye also ready.
Also of the above named Lydia MOSES who died October 2nd 1850 aged 63 years.
My flesh also shall rest in hope.
Also Matthew MOSES son of the above who died February 11th 1861 aged 33 years.”
Hope this helps with the research.

We have just been informed that Adamand died earlier this month. This is sad news indeed as he was a stalwart of the Durham boards. He will be sadly missed.
