Hello Eric. I posted the surnames for Brancepeth on the 24/Sep/08
So if you go back to that date you will see the list of surnames from gravestones.
If you do not want to do it that way you can always google it by just putting
(M Inscriptions Brancepeth) in the search engine.
One thing to keep in mind is that I do not do "cross postings"
ie requests for Willington only done on the Willington page etc
Has it happens there are no Shaw or Robinson gravestone (that are readable) at Brancepeth.
A number of gravestones at Willington have Brancepeth addresses.
The total number of Graveyards where I have   posted surnames  is 23

Hello Do you have any information on any Watsons or Solomons?

[solwat]

Further to my last question I see among the names from the inscriptions is a Hillary, my nanas best friend was a Hillary and I am named after her!  My mother came from Willington but I only visited there once 55years ago.

Hello Solwat. Where did you get the surname Solomon?
I have no Solomon surnames in my data base.
If you go to the first posting for Willington you will see the complete surname list for Willington
I have two Watson gravestones and one for Hillary and will post them later.

Thanks for the fast reply.  Solomon was my nanas maiden name and her and her sister and two brothers lived in Commercial St. in the 1901 census .Her father was a master painter in Willington in the 1880's. I just wondered if any of them were buried in Willington. My great Grandmother

Thanks for the fast reply. Solomon was my nanas maiden name. She and her sister and two brothers lived in Commercial street in the 1901 census. Her father was a master painter in Willington and her mother was a Watson. My nana and her sister played the piano at the local cinema for the silent films.
