Hello Adam,

I am quite new to this site...I already have the North Penine sites inscriptions which have been very useful for all of my Stanhope and Rookhope ancestors (Forster, Collingwood, Adamson) but I would be interested to see the inscription of the surname Freak in your list for St Thomas, Stanley, Crook.  I have found bmd records on Durham Records Online for this surname but very few memorial inscriptions presumably because they were poor leadminers and couldnt afford headstones...

Thanking you in advance

Claire

Hello Claire. Just one for Freak:-

In loving memory of Amelia (Milly) the beloved daughter of John and Annie Freak, died June/21/1911 aged 16 years.

There is a gravestone for Freak at Wolsingham dated 1777.

Thanks for the inscription Adam, 

The one in Wolsingham, John Freak, is proving difficult to fit into my tree as I cannot find any evidence of his birthdate which would prob be around 1686..

Thanks again
Claire

Hi Adam,   Would you let me have any Inscriptions for Grinling  please.

Hello Gerry. Just the one for Grinling :-

Johnson Grinling, her husband( no other information on the stone.)

Hello Adam,  Many thanks for your reply #86, definitely the correct Grinling, Susan Grinling (nee Race) was born 19 Feb 1832 Horringer Suffolk, her death on 8th May 1906 would mean she was 74 when died not 54, could the 7 have weathered to be mistaken for a 5.? Her husband Johnson Grinling was born 1833 & died 1916 age 83, pity there isn't any more info for him on the stone, but all info is gratefully received, thank you, I hope you are now fit and well after being in hospital.
                     Regards    Gerry.

Hello Gerry. Sorry it was 74. My sheet of paper says 74 and I should have typed 74.
You mention Race. I have just posted inscriptions for Race on the Crook thread and of course Stanley is usually known as Stanley, Crook.

Thanks, I feel fine at the moment.

Thanks Adam, everything now fits in, also I will watch for connections with the Race family name in the Crook area.  Regards    Gerry.
