Hello Lodger. I was just starting research for a visit next Sept. My GGGrandfather, David Smith, B. 1778 d.1856 is shown in family records as buried in East Chapel Burying Ground. Do you know if his name if found in the records?

Could anyone help me locate a headstone in Rothwell Holy Trinity? I have a picture of it (that I can't manage to post here...) and would like to visit it someday - I live in Vancouver BC and, of course, travel isn't feasible now. . It is a large headstone, comes to an oval at top memorializing these people. I would guess it would be 36" high if standing -

THOMAS ELLIS  of Carlton who died Aug 29 1881 aged 64 years "His End was Peace"  Also JANE, wife of the above, who died May 15, 1892, aged 71 years  (long quote follows) Also JANE SWIFT, daughter of the above, who died Feb 16, 1938 aged 80 years  Then chiseled in much late in lighter mark - Also WALTER SWIFT a very dear husband, dad & granddad died Nov. 28, 1975   

I'm hoping that this wasn't a headstone repurposed when the church was rebuilt. From the picture, it looks to me as though the headstone has fallen facing Wood Lane and is in the last row. I don't see a wall - the headstone faces a road but seems to be on an elevated area above it. I've visited Rothwell a few times and  I'm guessing wildly as to where it can be found :-)  Many thanks to anyone who can help with this!
