Hi

Could you post what you have for Mangles?  Thanks.

[Adamand]

Hello Ramani. Here are two headstone inscriptions:-

In loving memory of Elizabeth Jane, beloved wife of George Mangles, who died 3/September/1942 aged 66 years.
Also the above George Mangles, who died 18/June/1954 aged 75 years.

In loving memory of Frederick, beloved husband of Maria Mangles, who died October/1/1895? aged 66? years.
There is in brackets something that reads:- ?? Tavern North Bitchburn?
Today North Bitchburn is now named North Beechburn

That second gravestone was a good gravestone but the letters and numbers were erroded making them difficult to read.

There are two Mangles names on the war memorial one is
Mangles F and the other Mangles J. W.

Hi Adam

For my daughters history degree she has to trace her family history. A lot of them lived Hunwick, Oakenshaw, Willillington e.t.c. Would it be possible to look on your inscriptions in that area for any Longstaff, Martin or Bell names please

[Adamand]

Hello Lindamm. Here is the inscription for Longstaff at Hunwick:-

Sacred to the memory of
   Thomas Longstaff,
      of Hunwick,
Who died August 10th 1879
       aged 37 years.
Also Francis, son of the above
  Who died April 26th 1877
        aged 9 months.
Also Jane wife of the above
Who died September 19th 1909
        aged 65 years.
Also Hannah Lax
sister of the above
Who died February 10th 1900
       aged 52 years.

As for the other names, you can have the by all means.
What you will have to do is go to the relevent posting and request the on that page.
It makes things very complicated if inscriptions for different churchyards are  all put in to one churchyard entry (ie Willington on the Hunwick site)
If you go to the first posting on each subject you will see a list of surnames.
You can then check to see if the surname you are researching  are among them.
Read the posting requests to make sure they have not been requested before.
I have posted the surnames for twenty three graveyards. All you have to do is  google "M inscriptions Brancepeth" or M Inscriptions followed by the place name that you require.
I mention Brancepeth because Oakenshaw burials could be either Willington or Brancepeth.
