Thanks Adam

Doesn't appear immediately to link to my family, but to be fair I've just discovered the Milburn link so still early days

All the best

Adam,
Hope you're still involved in this thread! Would it be possible for you to tell me the Hardcastle inscription - I'm hoping it's my great grandad Malander...
Regards
David

Hello David:- Only the one for Hardcastle and it is not in very good condition for reading.
Here is what can be made out:-

Sacred to the memory of George Hardcastle, who departed this life 5/May/1858? aged 53 years.
And Jane his wife who died 20/January/1844 aged 35? years.
Also Jefferey? son, who died 5/September 1835? aged 22 years.

Sorry about all the ?? marks the trouble is the stone is affected by lichen and was chased very fine making the 3's and 5's difficult to tell apart.

By the way this was the only gravestone with a Hardcastle amongst all the graveyard that I have done

Adam,
Thanks for that. Unfortunately the Malander I'm looking for died in 1935 - I'm pretty sure he was living in Lanchester when he died - do you know if that's the only graveyard there?
Cheers
David

Hi Adam

Although I dont live far away from Stanley I have spent hours trawling these graveyards and only hit a brick wall.

Do you have anything for the surnames Blake, French or Minto please.

Thanks in advance

Hello Mandy. If you go to the first posting of each thread you will see a list of names the are on gravestones in that particular graveyard.
I do no know if you are looking for information at Lanchester (the thread that you posted on) or Stanley.
I do not do cross posting and that makes it easier for you to do searches and read the posts for that particular thread.
Let me know what information that you have (gravestones that you have found) and dates that you are looking for. I will then do a look up for you.
I have a feeling that the names that you are looking for are Catholic? Am I correct?

Hi

Apologies, I read the thread new to old and I should have read the orignal look up first.

Thanks anyway
