My cousin's Grandmother's name was Wilhelmina Vida Sabey.  Her father was William so I thought that perhaps she was named after him, sort of.  It was such a mouthful of a name for a wee girl.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / William Pickles in Heptonstall
« on: Friday 08 July 11 01:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am trying to locate Mary Pickles' maiden name before she married William Pickles around 1796 or 7 in St. Thomas, Heptonstall. I have found a William Pickles who married Mary Crabtree on 25 December 1796 and a Mary Ingham who was married to a William Pickles on 7th February 1797. 

William and Mary Pickles had a daughter, Hannah Pickles, who was baptised on 12 April  1803 at St. Thomas.  Hannah married John Horner on 30 September 1830 at St. John the Baptist, Halifax.  Their witnesses were William Eastwood and William Rushworth.

Thank you for any help.

Hello Carole,

I live in south Carolina now and often I have commented about some the gravestones in the old cemeteries here, how it would be nice to straighten them as many of them are at 45 degree angles and worse, just hanging on.  My husband said people won't adjust them as they think it would be disturbing the dead.  There are a couple of old cemeteries in town and the old graves have just been left for the weeds to take over.  It is so sad as they are lovely old ones with  marble surrounds, family plots.  I'm trying to build on just dates and places but it's just me now so what I can find on line in precious. 

I knew that some gravestones had been laid over flat on the ground or laid against a wall but didn't know that they had been disposed of. 

Thanks again for your email.

Carole, Thank you for your reply.
 I  emailed one of the churchwardens about 5 weeks ago and have emailed another just today so still hoping for a reply.  The only information I have at the moment is the obituary of my Great Grandfather, Frank Cooper who was interred at the churchyard on 13 February, 1931.  He even went to school at St Thomas School. His father, John Cooper died 1910 (second quarter) with his wife, Mary dying in 1913 (also second quarter).  However I cannot confirm that they were buried there. The Cooper family lived in Appleton on Mill Lane.

My ancestors, the Coopers and the Risleys, were Christened, married and buried at St. Thomas.  I would be very grateful if someone could take some photographs of the gravemarkers for me. I have emailed the churchwarden asking for information but have not heard back and  have requested on several websites but with no luck.    Please help me with this. 
thanking you,
Marion

My Grandfather, George Arthur Cooper, was Firemaster in Warrington area in the 30's or 40's.  Trying to find out information about him.  He was married to Mary Kathleeen Sweeney, from Co. Galway, Southern Ireland. 
Any information would be great or a website or physical address.
Thank you,
Marion

Cheshire / St. Thomas Churchyard, Stockton Heath

I emailed the churchwarden about a month ago for information on my Great Grandfather Frank Cooper's grave.  He was interred there in 1931.  Since then I have discovered that most of the Cooper family were christened, married and buried at St. Thomas'.   I saw on their website that the cemetery at the church was closed to further interments. and  I have not heard from anyone at St. Thomas'.   Does anyone live close by?  could someone hop over the wall and take some pictures for me?

thank you,
Marion
