Alf - you are a genius.

I don't think Ann & Richard are relatives - I will check them out on the censuses.

However James Kelsall is my 4 x gt grandfather! Could you give me a steer to where the stone is so I can stop by and photograph it on my next trip up to North Wales. Now if only I knew who James's father was.

Cheers

Richard is one of the fishmonger Kelsalls to whom I haven't been able to establish a link.
Richard and Anne are living in Queen St, Burslem in 1861

Hi belmichael64

I have not found any of your names, however there are about 12 that I did not finish and they are laid on the ground by a wall. Also I noted that there are a few that have been damaged and bits are missing they are also on the ground.

I will contact you once the other stones have been checked, these may belong to graves where the bodies have been reinterred at Carmountside when the road was widened and the church car park constructed.
