Thanks, Annie.  Good to know.  I never reviewed all of the gravestones at St. Leo's.  The ones that I did look at were dated much later than I needed; I figured anything earlier was worn down if there were even a gravestone.  Besides, I knew that Gabriel Whelden was buried outside of Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A in 1654.  I went to that gravesite but knew ahead of time that there was no gravestone for him....and no evidence of where exactly he was buried.

Between the time that Gabriel sold his property in Old Basford until his name is mentioned soon after, his wife, Jane was not heard from again.

Hi Annie,

Were there any gravestones from the 1600s or before that were legible?

I take it that you also did not find a person with the first name of Jane having been born in 1637 or 1638.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Annie!

I'm looking for anyone whose surname is any variant spelling of Whelden.
Also a woman named Jane who might have been buried in 1637 or 1638.

Thanks for your help!  I live in the U.S., but I went to Nottingham to do research on my grandfather 12 generations ago named Gabriel Whelden.  I had an article on him and his children (all baptised at St. Leo's) for the New England Historical and Genealogical Register that came out in October of 2009, so it was a very productive trip.

If you are looking for pre 1665 baptisms, etc., go to the Central Library in Nottingham.  The first microfiche of St. Leo's has never been published.  The probable reason for that is that most of those church records were not in very readable condition; however, we did our best and got quite a bit of information.

Hi Annie,

I have pictures of St. Leodegarius grounds in Basford that I took a few years ago which include general photos of the graveyard. If you'd like pictures, let me know.  I'll send them to you.  I tried looking for graves from the early pre 1638.  No gravestones that early (what few there were) are readable.
