Hi,
     I am currently in charge of a large album of letters dating from 1689 and mainly between members of the Booth, Proby, Cautley, Garrow and Crawfurd families. I am thinking of having them published and wonder if there would be any interest among members of the Booth family. There are 23 letters from the Booths to other family members . I have  transcribed all of them, but they are Word docs and I haven't been able to upload any of them. Raymond Crawfurd

Thanks for the suggestion about listed buildings. Like you I couldn't find any listing of the grave on any website but I spoke to the PCC Secretary and she had a handwritten archive of the gravestones and it was on there. I need to see it sometime as the date of death in the Will is different from that said to be on the stone.

Thanks. I think that would be after the death of the Mary Craufurd I am looking  at. After I posted the query I found a reference to a Mary Craufurd living at Silwood Lodge, Sunninghill. I gather Silwood Park is now part of Imperial College, but I don't know if the Silwood Lodge she lived in is still identifiable. Do you know if it is?

I have details of the burial of James Craufurd and his wife Mary at St. Michael & All Angels churchyard, Sunninghill. He died in 1816 and she in 1837, They were obviously wealthy and well connected . Her will refers to their home as being just "Sunninghill". Does anyone know where they actually lived. I have checked the newpapers of 1837-8 and can find no details of a sale.
