Hello, Adam, Thanks for your prompt reply. My great grandfather, Christopher Heslop, born in Swaledale c.1855 was buried in Witton le Wear in 1926. I believe his second wife, Mary Ann (nee Coates) also born in Swaledale c.1857 was buried with him in 1939. They lived in Garten House and had the following children; Edward (edmund) 1885 - 1951; Mary E. 1883; Martha 1886; Rebecca 1890 and 1895. Would welcome any information on the family and, indeed any other Heslops from Witton area.. Ron H.

Hello Heslop. Here are two inscriptions. There is another one but it is after the 1950's cut off date and will not go on this message.
If you still want it I will post it on the personal mail:-

In loving memory of Christopher Heslop, who died 30/September/1926 age 72 years.
Also Mary Ann, his wife, who died 18/February/1939 aged 82 years.

In loving memory of Elizabeth Christina, beloved wife of George Heslop of Witton le Wear, born 7/February/1857, died 26/November/1907.
Also the above George Heslop, born 20/November/185?, died 21/June/1940.
(this stone was laid flat and broken in two)

Thanks again Adam, The Christopher & Mary Ann are my Great grandfather & wife. I believe George could be another link, but was unaware of his wife. Would be  interested in any other inscriptions... Ron H.

Hi Adamand
I have two Scottish, possible relations, John Pilmers age 80 and George Pilmer age 76 brothers, who in the 1901 Census for Witton Le Wear, Durham were shown as farmers. Your Inscription list shows there is at least one Pilmer buried in St Phillips & St James + Municipal Cemetery at Witton Le Mer.

I wonder if you can provide me with the inscription as this will let me verify whether my records are using a birth date or a christening date and I do not have death dates for either one.
