MI's in St Mary - Horsham

[Chris in 1066Land]

Hi Colin

Just had a quick look at my Database of Horsham and there are 7 stones that contain CHARMAN information

No 40, 529, 1004. 1005, 1007, 1021 and 1023

Will be posting details in a few moments when I have done my chores

My apologies for the lack of information from these stones - but as I put in an earlier post: the original survey commissioned by the Horsham Urban Council and undertaken by Donald Slyfield in 1952. – was found to be very basic and the details contained within that 1952 survey often only recorded  the name, year and age at death.

No 40:
CHARMAN Henry, 1781

No 529:
CHARMAN ?

No 1004:
CHARMAN Mary, wife of James, 18th September 1837, aged 61 Years.

No 1005:
CHARMAN, late of 'Crab Tree' (L.B.) 9th April 1813, Aged 66 years and
wife Jane, 21st May 1837, aged 89 years

Next door to the above stone is a footstone (No 1006) that has on it
A.C 1804; T.C. 18??  - it could another Charman grave, but the headstone has gone.

The rest will follow in a few moments

No 1007:
CHARMAN  Jane, daughter of James and Mary, 11th October 1827 aged 15 years

1021:
CHARMAN Elizabeth, daughter of Elizabeth & James,

A buried Footstone (No 1022) - quite possible it is Charman
 
No 1023:
CHARMAN Thomas, son of James and Mary, 19th August 1831, aged 18 years

Sorry, but that is all the info that I have

I hope it helps in your research

Thanks Chris, much appreciated. Colin Charman

Please could you look up George about 1879 and Harriet Mitchell about 1850. I'm sure I saw their grave(s) near a huge yew once when in Horsham but it didn't sink in then that they were mine. I would appreciate it if you could check for me.

Hi Painterlady

There are 6 Mitchell Stones in Horsham, St Mary, but unfortunately I dont think that any match your criteria; although possibly No 449 looks promising.

No 183: MITCHELL Lucy, Wife of John and Daughter of Hugh & Elizabeth Orlton
No 447: MITCHELL Edward, son of Samuel and Phoebe, 1822
No 448: MITCHELL Samuel, son of above, 1833
No 449: MITCHELL Harriett, wife of Isaac, 4th August 1850 and Daughter Ann, 1857
No 919: MITCHELL John, son of Edward and Catherine, 1813 or 1815, aged 66
No 1146: MITCHELL Matthew, 2nd November 1880, aged 65 years

Hope the above may help your research

Thank you Chris, you're probably right, not the ones I was looking for but think the Matthew is the son of one of ours'

Hi AmyUK

Thanks for your private message.

Lincer is Stone Number 883 - 885. which is a group of 4? stones inside a surround.

883 - 885 to my mind is only 3 stones; so am a bit confused as to how in 1952 they managed to describe it as such - See Map for location of same. - they are on the left hand side near to the top.

Stone 1 - Linser Mary, 1st May 1840, Aged 77 years.

Will add the other 3 stones as soon as I have scanned the map in to the computer.

Hi again Amy

The way that I interpret this drawing is that there are 4 Head stones shown on the left as  |__|__|__|__| with 3 Footstones on the right shown as |-|    |-| |-| .  The second Head Stone does not appear to have a footstone.

The Linser information is on stone 1 as previously given.

The other stones are as follows:

No 2. PEARSON Four infant children of James & Harriett (London)
         PEARSON  Mr Sayers - 6th April  1849, aged 19 years and Thomas James, 11th Feb 1864 aged 40 years.  James Pearson 1866 aged 90 years and his wife Harriett 1869, aged 83 years.  Charles Pearson, 1888 aged 69 Years.

No 3. SAYERS Charles, 4th Feb 1831 aged 88 years and wife An 1830 aged 85 years; and four daughters Phoebe 1781 - 1850; Anne 1779 - 1862; Mary 1784 - 1863; and Harriett 1787 -  1869

No 4. SAYERS Charles, son of Charles and Ann, 24th June 1796 aged 19 years; sister Kitty 1796 - aged 20 years and Richard, infant.


Would suggest that this is a Sayers Family Plot, but one of the Sayers married a Pearson.  Where the Linser came in, I have no idea.

Perhaps it makes more sense to you than me

Hope it somehow helps in your research
