Absolutely! I'm descended from Sarah Little - the youngest of the Little family.

I'll send you a direct message shortly.

Just throwing something into the mix here...
One of my 3x great grandmothers was Elizabeth Emmerson, born about 1787 in Stapleton.
I've not yet been convinced that I've found her baptism record but there is a record for a Betty Emmerson in 1786, daughter of John Emmerson, 'a poor man'. Other children are as per CoIC's post.

I'm on Anc....; so if you've taken a DNA test there may (or may not!) be a match.

Update!

Hurrah for Rootschat!

It was a chance in a million that I saw the original post and realised that I recognised the name and knew a relative. Now, the stone has been raised and placed.

Thank you Sandra for that original post.

Lizzie, I don't suppose you have any idea about where the Lambton name came from do you? As far as I can see, it was first used for Barbara's grandfather, Richard Lambton Brown. But good to see it's still carried on.

All best wishes

I understand she is the only living relative; she's very grateful that she's been alerted to the appeal and will get in touch with CWGC as soon as she can.

Thank you so much for highlighting this - I don't often check into Rootschat these days but when I did today, your post was at the top of the list and I immediately recognised the name and got in touch with  my friend.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: James Flower / Flowers b Skelton Yorks 1854/55

Hello

Belatedly looking at this and I'm wondering whether you are confusing two Skeltons.

The James Flower who married in Guisborough probably lived at Skelton-in-Cleveland (part of the Guisborough registration district); the Flowers of Helperby may be connected to the Skelton just outside of York.

Oh to live in a village with a group of retired engineers! Lucky you!

It sounds like a fine and fitting reinterment and beautifully marked too. :)

Speaking as a churchwarden, if you are considering any sort of gardening/maintenance work in a churchyard, please make sure you consult with the church - vicar or churchwarden. They may have a deliberate re-wilding scheme or protecting a habitat/environment. There are also quite strict rules about what can and can't be done in a churchyard.

All too often, the cost of maintenance is beyond small parishes, and help with grass cutting etc would be very welcome. My church is very fortunate in that we receive help from the Parish Council but I know many that don't have that financial help.
