Hi Adam
Thanks very much for looking. The last child Elizabeth had was in 1810 in Auckland St Helens parish which is why I was trying to eliminate that possibility thanks for trying

Hello Jan. There is one for Coates and one for Jackson  but you have put the request on the wrong list. The lists were St Helen A to O and P to Y.
It is important to get the name on the correct list so others who are researching various names can find them easy.
Also The inscriptions that I have are the names that are listed on the first posting
If the name is not there then I do not have the inscription.
Here are the Robson inscriptions :-

To the memory of John Young Robson, son of John and Ann Robson of Hunwick, farmer, who died March/21/1854 aged 2 years.
Also of William Robson, who died April/9/1863 aged 1 year and 10 months.
Also the above named John Robson, who died March/25/1873 aged 45? years.

This next stone was in a bad condition but I will give you what can be read.

Sacred to the memory of Margaret Robson, wife of
of Wide Hope, ? the 25/1816 ?? wide Hope ??
1838
Sorry but that is the only lettering left that  could be read.

Affectionately in memory of Mary Robson, wife of George Robson of Royal Oak, who died 7/November/1864 aged 71 years.
Also the above George Robson, who died April/2/1879 aged 74 years.

Is it too late to ask for the details of this inscription: Trottor (Akenhead Eales) ??

The name has just surfaced in some research I'm doing in Durham. Thanks in advance.

Oops! I too posted a question on the - alphabetically - wrong page St Helens

Meantime, I came across this site listing MI's for St Helen's (& presumably other parishes?) ...might save Adam some legwork?

Sadly the Wades listed don't look to be part of my family.

Hello Robert. It does not save me any legwork because I already have all the inscriptions  on my data base.
One thing that I will point out is that that list is not as complete as my list because I include all information.
For example one(Wade) gravestone gives a Jane Matthew wife of Thomas Matthews and daughter of George and Rachel.
I had a look on my data base out of interest because I thought the name Wade would be quite common.
It was not because there are only 3 other gravestones, two for Stanley, Crook and one for Mugglewick .
