Thanks, Suffolk*Sue for the marriage posting. Now the monumental inscriptions are making sense and a more complete picture is coming together thanks to your info.

Suffolk / Re: Phillip MOTHERSOLE - Suffolk

I have contacted the Suffolk CRO which holds a transcription made in 1930 of the gravestones of St Peters Parish Church, Great Livermere.  I think the staff might have made some errors when interpreting the abbreviations for wife and widow since they have the widow dead before the husband in some cases but here's what they sent in reply to my query:

"Thank you for your email dated 27th August 2009. We have a collection of Churchyard Inscriptions which were made in 1930 which are hand written and abbreviated and I have listed below those with a reference to either Phillip of Susan Mothersole

Phillip Mothersole 11th November 1871 age 74
Elizabeth widow of Phillip Mothersole 2nd June 1862 age 63
Henry John Mothersole son of William and Susan Mothersole 25th April 1886 age 65
Jane widow of Phillip Mothersole 30th June 1813 age 48
Phillip Mothersole 30th March 1825 age 63
Simon son of Phillip and Susan Mothersole 31st August 1806 age 35
William Mothersole 8th December 1876; Susan the widow of William Mothersole 7th January 1886 age 94
Phillip Mothersole 12th June 1815 age 80; Susan his widow (no day) March 1802 age 61 or 60 not clear"

Herefordshire / Commonwealth Gap in Herefordshire
« on: Wednesday 26 August 09 18:38 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in hearing from anyone who has had success outside of parish registers with tracing events which fall in the Commonwealth gap period. I am particularly interested in Brockhampton in Woolhope and I have found the Woolhope Manor records useful but difficult to decipher. Apart from wills are there any other sources people are using that are helping to bridge the gap?

I am interested in this family also. Can I ask how you came by Jane as the wife of Philip? The grave of Simon Mothersole d1806 in St Peter's Parish Church, Great Livermere lists his parents as Philip and Susan Mothersole. Given the date and its proximity to the graves of Philip (died 1871) and Elizabeth (died 1862) I think it's a very good chance Simon was Philip's brother. The 1841 census entry for the family of Philip and Elizabeth Mothersole (nee Borley) lists a Susan Mothersole aged 80 - this may be Philip's mother. I am descended from Alfred Mothersole, the son of Philip and Elizabeth who changed is name to Motherstone.
