Cornwall Lookup Requests / Re: Which one is the right Mary Sloggett?
« on: Wednesday 23 July 25 22:58 BST (UK)  »
Hello Trevellian
Have you checked any of the original parish registers from the OPC details? How do you know Mary was the second daughter of Jesse Sloggett & Jane Taylor?
There is a Mary Strout on the findagrave website, Saint Endellion churchyard, 1749-1835.

Danning, John. Head, Married, M, 30, Ag lab, Birthplace: North Petherwin
Danning, Mary. Wife, Married, F, 24,              Birthplace: Lawhitton, Cornwall.
Piece 2225, Enum district 4, folio 81, P15, Schedule 76.

Baptism from the Parish register (FreeREG):
24th Sept 1871  Thomas Danning. Place: Lawhitton  Church: Saint Michael
Father: John. Occupation: Labourer  Mother: Mary  Abode: Luccombe 
Register entry No.664

Cornwall / Re: St Cleer churchyard photo
« on: Friday 31 May 24 21:01 BST (UK)  »
I visited Saint Cleer today and found the tomb of Joseph / John Pomery, but it was illegible due to 236 years of weathering. The only words i could make out was:
Mary Pomery their pious daughter who departed this life on the 7th day of September 1700/1800
aged 4... years.
Saint Neots to follow.

Gillg,
You've just jogged the memory of another former Rochdalian. I was reading earlier of the designer of Rochdale cemetery in 1855, a man called Abraham Stansfield, assisted by 2 geologists, James Horsfall of Healey nursery and Robert Law of Todmorden. - second paragraph of Historic Development:

Hello again Goldie
Just an observation from the Historic England website regarding Saint Neots, (don't know if you've already seen it) at the end of the church details the following are mentioned as memorials in the church:
Richard Pomery 1744.
William Dangar 1831.
William Dangar 1868.

https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1329212?section=official-list-entry

Tomb in the churchyard:
William Dangar 1789.

More ancestors maybe?
