Scarborough cemetery photographs - COMPLETED, thanks!

Dave, Do you have a William and Mary Webster in your tree?  The reason I ask is I happen to have taken a photo of a gravestone for them in Snainton.  The gravestone also has the name of Charles Webster, their grandson, on it.  William Webster was a farmer of East Carr House, Snainton.  I am more than happy to give you the transcription or forward the photo if it is of interest?

When I visited Woodlands the year before last I only had to give them the surname I was researching and they printed off a list of them all.  It's strange they couldn't do that for you.

Dave, sorry that should have been Jonathan Webster and his wife Mary, not William!

Yes we do have Snainton links as well but that side of it is extremely hazy for me. Basically loads of Websters in the Falsgrave part of Scarborough, Rawlings and Codling from Cloughton. I understand my great grandad on both sides (my mum and dad were first cousins) came from Exeter and married into the Rawlings.

Thanks both

PS I had a John Dobson in the family as well, he married my father's sister, but he's a later one as he died in the late 70s. Don't know if he was of Scarborough origins or not.

Hi Sharon

When you next visit Scarborough, could you please photograph a couple of graves for me please?  They are both in Dean Road Cemetery.

Hannah Hewson d1881.  Plot number F 33 - 21
Elizabeth Hewson d1899.  Plot number F 30 - 21.

There may be another - I'm waiting to hear from burial records in Beverley re Abraham Jackson Hewson who died in 1846.  I'll let you know about that when I hear from them.

Thanks in advance.

You dont need to know the christian names when I go all you do is ask for a print out of the surname your looking for in which ever graveyard your looking for.

Hi Sharon

I've heard  back from burial records at Beverley and they couldn't really give me much information.  My relative was Abraham Jackson Hewson who died in 1846.  All they could find was St Mary's Cemetery in Scarborough, with a burial (?) date of 24 October 1846.  However, they couldn't give me a plot number.  Not sure therefore if his grave will be easy to find.  If it is, please could you have a look for me (   ).  If not, don't worry - you're already getting two pictures for me after all!

Thanks again,

Hi Sharon

You've now got the same problem as me. I think have a Dobson in St. Mary's boneyard but need it checking in the MIs. As far as I can see, Ticker (the Moderator) has a copy of the book of MIs, but I've posted a couple of threads and even a pm for him, but he doesn't seem to be around.

And then ... to the best of my knowledge (I was 'home' in Scarborough a while back) many of the headstones have actually been moved and placed very close together.

Not very encouraging ...
