Thank you for your help. although I have two Elizabeth Watson and 1 John the dates do not tie in, it must have been a common name in that area.

Hi Adam,

Thanks again for the info on the Boleyn family grave at St Stephens, my mother & I visited Durham & couple of weeks ago & went to see it.

I would like to ask you if you could send me any info you have on the Dixon family graves.  We are still trying to track down some living relatives & our only hope now seems to be through any siblings of Alice Boleyn nee Dixon.

Many thanks for all your help

Emma

Hi Adam

Thank many for the Hunwick inscription. Could I please ask for the names Longstaff, ( a verty popular name it seems ;) Martin and Bell. My great x3 grandfather lived in Willington ( a Longstaff) and it appears he had numerous family members. We live in Derbyshire so not sure where all the graveyards are!!

Also the above Francis Longstaff, who died February/12/1879 aged 84 years.

Some of the dates are a bit iffy. Usually the 5 and the 3 are difficult to read when weathered.
You mentioned other surnames but I do not know if you wanted the inscriptions.

Hi Adam

Thanks many for the info. It is helping piece together our family history. I live in Derbyshire and am a full time carer so travelling north is a no go at the moment. I really appreciate your help
