M Inscriptions for Lanchester

Adam, very many thanks.

Yes, I have the James Reed inscription. I had been given the impression there might be a separate one for Ralph, but obviously this was wrong.

Thanks again.

Hello Jay. This is an easy one. Here it is:-

Here lieth the body of Magdalen Lowson wife of John Lowson of Dipton, died Nov 7 age 54 years. 1788.

That is exactly how it is on the stone.
What other areas do you have Lowson?

Hi Adam

Thanks for that, but it's a bit early to be mine.  I'll pass it on to someone who might have a connection to them.

Mine are based around Hamsterley/Evenwood area.

Cheers
