Hi
Does anyone have a list of the Monumental Inscriptions for St Michael's Churchyard, Wragby?
If so can you please tell me if there are any entries for the surname RUSBY

Nothing found on FindaGrave and no Rusby burials found in Wragby on FindMyPast

If no-one can help with this, you can buy a list of MIs from Pontefract FHS.
Otherwise, Wragby appears to be fairly well covered by the Gravestone Photos website. They list a number of Rusby memorials, but I don't know how complete this is. More details at:

I've found four Rusby burials on FindMyPast. (Thomas, Sarah, William and Tabitha) You have to enter Wragby Yorkshire otherwise it seems to go to Wragby Lincs. I have a lot of Blackburn ancestors from Wragby Yorks, had great difficulty finding them on FindMyPast until I realised that.
Although buried in Wragby church according to parish records, none of my early Blackburns have gravestones as far as I can see from the various grave finding websites, probably just had a wooden cross to mark it which rotted away long ago. I couldn't find any either when I went there last year.

Well that explains why I couldn't find any Rusby burials on FindMyPast - looking in the wrong county.
