M Inscriptions for Hunwick, St Pauls.

[trwl]

I can't make a connection to any of the names that have been mentioned in this discussion but the all of the family names Longstaff, Barrass and Bell occur in my family history. I am a Longstaff so that name tends to dominate what I have collected thus far but if we can find some common ancestors each of us can expand the range of our knowledge of our history. You can see some of what I've collected at http://www.longstaff.info. Please feel free to contact me if you find any connection.

Hi Adam

 ???Can you tell me where the info comes from as the date and age for Charles either Janes husband or son do not fit with other info I have researched. Janes husband died in 1885 and his funeral was reported in the paper as he was 96 and Charles their son died aged 65 in 1895.

The dates for Jane & Joseph are right, but the other is odd.

Clipping for Charles husband of Jane:
Northern Echo  Tuesday, February 17, 1885.
"Yesterday at Hunwick church the remains of Mr Charles Scurr, of Roughlea Farm, were interred in the presence of many friends and neighbours. The deceased had reached the great age of ninty six years.".

Hello Sharon. I have altered the inscription. The reason I made the mistake was because I posted the Hunwick on the Willington page and made a cock up of the change over.
The inscription is now correct.

Hi Adam

Many thanks for that, you have saved my sanity. I thought I was going to have to go through all my old research again.
