I have some photos from that graveyard I had a nose around a few years back, thanks for the offer.

I had a bit of a dig yesterday and I think we can discount Hannah Herron (mentioned earlier in conversation) as being the Hannah as she married a Thompson Whitfield, not Thomas.  It's on familysearch, plus luckily I found one of their children baptismal record on this page :http://durhamrecordsonline.com/updates/2009/page/7/
Thompson is on the 1841 census living in Brancepeth, Durham, I think Hannah had recently died.

In one of my early replies (#9 I think) I have questioned this marriage to Hannah Herron so good to get confirmation.

I'm afraid I have been off on other tangents and haven't got back to the Whitfields yet.  :-[

Ps
I had a nose around St Cuthberts churchyard last summer and I have photos of the following graves if they are of any interest-
Robert Rickaby Whitfield died 1917
Ralph and Elizabeth Whitfield died 1869 and 1886 ( I think)
Agnes Spencer Spencer nee Whitfield died 1959. She married into the Spencer of ' Marks and Spencer' family.
Thank you for the offer. I already have a photo of Agnes Spencer's grave, but would be interested in the other two. Thanks very much.  :)
