Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Deceased Online Burial Information Help
« on: Monday 22 December 25 13:23 GMT (UK)  »
In some cases the list of the departed can be quite distressing, local cemetery [now closed] in Leeds contains multiple remains of children, where the children were classed as born sleeping/deaths within days! All this near major hospital.RIP

Yes permission had been given, the once cleaned memorial is to be featured on local TV.
Just can't remember what paint my late father used 70 years ago?
[My late father was a monumental stone mason, me being his gopher as and when he needed help on weekend local jobs]

Graveyards and Gravestones / Gravestone lettering?
« on: Sunday 30 November 25 15:44 GMT (UK)  »
Nearby  to me there is a large monument with a distant connection to my family name containing the remains of eleven departed souls.
The last remaing member of the family (living 200miles away) has organised for the memorial to be cleaned and the lettering made clear. (currently the lettering doesn't have any embossing on) which makes it hard to read unless close up.
To give you some idea the monument is 20+feet high and is surrounded by 1foot square blocks to each side each @20 feet long times 2.
The idea is to paint the lettering with a black coloured paint?
[The stumbling block is the contactor wants £1,000 to carry out this task]
The monument is constucted from pinkish colored marble, the hight of lettering is within my reach if I attempt the job, couple of dry days permitting.
Question though is what type of paint would I use: enamel/cellulose or other?

If it's any help, calverley.info has the full census details of Bramley listed inc 1911.
Just to add there is a Vital Record search to enable you to search, just enter a surname for a full listing!
[353 entries for a Booth named person found]
