M Inscriptions for Lanchester

[Anny]

Thanks Adam

I'm specifically looking for a Thomas Dent, a tanner, who I haven't been able to find since the birth of his youngest son Henry in 1833.  Thomas doesn't show up on the 1841 census (however his wife Ann nee Hutchinson is shown as Head of the household as opposed to Widow living in Bolam with the children).  His widow remarries in 1847 so Thomas has definitely died by then.  They may not have been able to afford a MI so it is a shot in the dark.  So far I've acquired about 10 death certs trying to track him down but the ages have been too far out, I would guess he would be about 40/45ish.
All a bit vague I'm afraid.

Hello Anny. I have been through all the records that I have and there are Thomas Dents of around the period that you mention. Sorry:(

Thanks anyway Adam, at least I won't keep asking you for MIs everytime you put up a new post.  I think he must have moved out of the county, I've even checked to see if he was transported over here.

Much appreciated

Hello Katherine. One old and one new :-

In loving memory of Godfrey Cumming, died 31/October/1949.
Also his wife Violet May, died 15/June/1957.
No aged were given on this stone.

In memory of the beloved son and daughters of ? and Elizabeth Cumming of Cornsey, who departed this life in 1811 as follows:-
Joseph,        May/21 aged  10 years.
Elizabeth     May/25 aged  5 years.
Margaret     May/27 aged  12 Years
Catherine    June/4  aged 14 years.

The ? is because I could not make sense of the letters that made up the christian name.
Cornsey is now known as Cornsay.

Thanks

Hello Ben. Sorry the Surname on the stone was Musgrove and not Musgrave.

Thanks Adam - Godfey and Violet are my maternal grandparents. Not so sure about the earlier family yet - very much looks like an infectious disease of some sort took all the children so close together.

Kind Regards

Katherine
