Headstone transcription found-Chalfont
« on: Tuesday 16 October 07 09:49 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I found this headstone transcription for my ancestors in Chalfont on this sight:

Rootschatters, check it out you  may find your ancestor/s there too.
The transcription reads:
Mrs. Sarah MENERE/who died February 9th 1877/aged 98 years/also Mrs.Ann PRICKETT who died August 27th 1857/also Mary MENERE/ who died October 25th 1861/also Mrs Sarah BALLARD/widow of the late John BALLARD/ who died December 23rd 1894 aged 80 years.

Now I know Sarah BALLARD is Sarah MENERE'S (nee PRICKETT) daughter, but as yet have not worked out where Mary MENERE and Mrs Ann PRICKETT(married name?) fit in, Ann may be Sarah Snr's sister.

Now I DO know my ggggrandmothers maiden name is PRICKETT at last, thanks to the rootschatter who supplied me with  the Boyd's marriage index.
If someone can help me find info for Mary MENERE and Mrs Ann PRICKETT I will be very happy, another piece of my brickwall is chipped of, only 4million to go? ha ha.
Cheers,
OZZYAL
PS please dont reply with derogative comments, it doesn't affect me.
