Title: MIs for Loftus - St Leonard's church
Post by: DianaM on Tuesday 18 October 05 13:12 BST (UK)

Does anyone have access to these MIs?
I'd like to have the inscription for Arthur Cavill, buried 23 May 1876 Aged 17 Loftus St Leonard
Many thanks
Diana

Diana,
If no-one responds to this, I'll be visiting Loftus next week (looking for Browns) so could have a look for you. If someone could come up with a location it would make it a bit easier though

Cheers, RuthieB

Me again RuthieB!
Was just re-reading your reply and wondered if by some longshot your Browns had anything to do with Alexander Brown, born East Cottingwith (a cordwainer, widower) living with his children in Brotton in 1891?  The Arthur Cavill I'm looking for was his nephew.

Hi Diana,
My (older) Browns were mostly born in West/St Helens Auckland and moved down with the Ironstone industry. In 1881 my ggg grandfather Thomas Lumsdon Brown was living with the family at Skinningrove; a couple of his sons stayed in the Loftus area. I think all my Brown men had surnames as a second Christian name and I don't think we got as far as Brotton (although I used to live in Skelton myself at one time).
Off 'oop north' tomorrow - bit of a  drive from here in west Wales - might be able to catch up with an e-mail from the local library in Guisborough to let you know if I've been successful.
Watch this space!

Hi Diana
Have looked through the M.I's from ClevelandFHS for Loftus St. Leonard, unfortunately no Cavill listed, perhaps not legible

Hi, do you know for definate if youre Cavill was buried at Loftus?  I live there and would be willing to go to the old cemetery and have a look for you.

Let me know if you need my help.

Jen  :D

Hi Jen
That's very kind of you.  I think I got the info off the NBI:
Arthur Cavill, buried 23 May 1876 Aged 17 Loftus St Leonard
but the exact date may be wrong.  He certainly died in May 1876 though.

Happy new year!
Diana

I have a transcript of GI's from St Leonards, Loftus, but I'm afraid your ancestor (or anything like his name) is not recorded,

Welcome to RootsChat, Matthew.

Thanks very much for looking, and for reviving this old post - you never know who else might spot it and be able to help!

I'm also keen to get an MI from St Leonard's Loftus and would be very grateful if anybody could assist.

It's for John Garbutt and the NBI gives: 31 Mar 1897  John GARBUTT  73    Loftus, St Leonard, Yorks.

My ancestor John was born c.1822 in Kirkby Fleetham and this looks a likely match.

Thanks

Steven

I'm afraid there are no Garbutts listed in the St Leonard's MIs (published by Cleveland Family History Society). By the late 19th Century the churchyard was full and a new cemetery was opened at the east end of Loftus for use by all churches and chapels. As far as I know, no transcriptions have been made for this.

Just wondering if you have any information for burial in 1797 for Hannah Rodgers (Rogers) wife of Thomas Rodgers.  Burial is in the parish records for Loftus.  Family were stonemasons, so may be a headstone.

Many thanks Val :)

Hi Val,

No MI for Ro(d)gers at St. Leonard's, Loftus, however there are a couple for Rogers at nearby St. Michael's, Liverton, which may be of interest:

In loving memory of Annie the beloved wife of Thomas John Rogers of Loftus who died August 25th 1908 aged 43 years, 'Her end was peace'.  Also the above named Thomas John Rogers who died April 1st 1932 aged 70 years

In memory of Joseph Reogers who died May 5th 1868 aged 74 years.  Also Jane wife of the above who died August 9th 1908 aged 98 years

Kind regards, Barbara  :)

Thanks Barbara for looking for me.  Just thought I would give it a shot.  Have always wondered if  the Rogers from Liverton were connected to mine, but never found anything to connect them.  Will just keep searching.

Kind regards Val   ???

We have a Carvill/Carvel in our tree. Mary - she married George Bardy in about 1810 in Skipwith, she is listed as resident in Aughton, and their first 2 children were born in East Cottingwith.

We can just about connect her with other Carvill/Carvels on the IGI

Is she on your tree too?

Thanks a lot Gina

Not my John Garbutt (he married Mary Ann who was alive in 1881) but good to rule this one out. Thanks again for looking.
