Hello Wraith. In case someone else is looking for Wraith inscriptions, the posting for Wraith at Crook is post number 4. and the posting for Wraith at Wolsingham is post number 62.
It is always helpful to quote the number of the posting especially if the Surname is on a gravestone along with other family relations with a different surname.

Adam - This is in response to your suggestion I post my 'Bells of Wolsingham' query in this section.

You can apparently provide inscription information directly from the gravestone - this is very handy for me because my wife Norah and I live in Mandurah Western Australia (80Km south of Perth) so a bit far to travel.

The info I have so far........

Thomas Bell born 1811 in Wolsingham. He married Mary Hodgson born 1820 in Stanhope Durham. They had several children including Jonathan Bell born about 1857. Jonathan Bell married Mary Ann Elliott born in 1851 in Warboys. They in turn had several children one of which was Jonathan Ralph Bell (my Grandfather) born in 1891 in Edmonton Hertfordshire. JR Bell married my grandmother Dorothy Clough, a decendant of the Cloughs of Cleckheaton Yorkshire. It looks like the Bells and the Cloughs moved from their respective parts of northern England around 1870 to Hertfordshire and the rest is history so to speak.


Sincere thanks for any info provided - nn.
