Title: Dacre Burial Record or Gravestone
Post by: lululisa on Monday 31 March 14 03:56 BST (UK)
I am trying to confirm that an ancestor was, in fact, buried at Dacre. Robert Sander died in 1863 in Stainton, and I believe he was buried in St. Andrew Church's cemetery. I was hoping that someone could confirm this for me. Perhaps they reside in that area and can check the records or perhaps they can post a photo of a gravestone. I'd appreciate any help or advice.

Duh - thanks Jen.

I Googled it and it only came up with Canada.  Just Googled it again and it's coming up with other options ::)

Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. Robert was born in 1819 and he passes away in December of 1863. In the 1861 census, he and his family resided in Stainton. His daughter Elizabeth married John Atkinson and they lived at Dalemain mill in 1881. They emigrated to Canada in 1888 after a fire broke out and destroyed the mill they owned in Carlisle. They lived at 24 Aglionby shortly before they came to Canada.
I was in England in 2011, and I made it to Stainton and Dalemain mill, but unfortunately we didn't make it to Dacre. I'm hoping to return to the Cumberland area in 2015.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
