If he died in Sutton, then he is probably buried at the very pretty church there in the village:

Oops, tried to post you the link but this site won't allow.

There is a very helpful PCC who I am sure could help you with burials.

It is probably NORBURY, Staffs.  There is an impressive canal network at Norbury Junction.  The village is near to Eccleshall, Staffs.

Good luck.

My Great Great Great Grandfaher is absolutely definitely buried in this beautiful old churchyard and I am so grateful to have found this site.

We want to make a journey to see if we can find his headstone but from the postings it looks like a difficult task.

Does anyone know what the future holds for the churchyard?  Who could we contact to make some progress? 

All suggestions gratefully received!

Thank you. :)

Cheshire / Re: Ince Hall in Cheshire
« on: Tuesday 17 January 12 20:10 GMT (UK)  »
I have a FREDERICK WILLIAM SECKER who worked as the 'Second Gardener' at Ince Hall.

He also played for Ince Cricket Club in 1904/05.  We have two large photographs of the cricket team for those years and also a silver shield which was on his cricket bat showing that he held the 'Best Average for 1904'.

If there is a FHS in Ince, or similar, and you/they would like a copy of the two photographs, we'd be happy to share with you.

Family Bibles / Re: KIBBLE BIBLE
« on: Saturday 05 March 11 22:11 GMT (UK)  »
I have seen your post and they are definitely our family!

Sarah Kibble is buried in the churchyard of St. John's in Buglawton, Congleton, Cheshire next to my Great Great Aunt whose married name was Violet Milroy Besant [wife of the Rector] and her maiden name was Hervey.

Hervey Kibble is the son of Sarah Kibble and is also buried with his mother at Buglawton.

We have done a huge amount of research on this line of our family and we have some wonderful photographs which go back to very early images indeed. 

The Hervey family were originally HERVIE and came from Scotland.  They settled south of the border in Manchester in the very early 1800's - all well documented.

Kibble is the maiden name of my Great Great Great Great Grandmother, ISABELLA KIBBLE.

I hope that I have given you enough information to reassure you that I am 100% genuine - we believe that there are no other descendants who could possibly claim this wonderful family bible and I hope that you will reply soon on behalf of your friend.

I live in Staffordshire; most of the Hervey ancestors from the time of the bible are buried in Cheshire and Lancashire.

PLEASE CONTACT ME - I do hope that you still have the Bible?

Kind regards,
Nicola
