Hello Gillie. Lots of people read these messages so I think someone may pick up your Paxton webpage.
I have had a look and see that most of them are from the borders.
This one may have been a stray because it is the only Paxton name out of 10,000 or so inscriptions that I have.

Hi Adam

I was in Willington at St Stephen's today but too many headstones to look at and not enough time to do it and now I have just come across your thread with the list of inscriptions.

I am interested in ATKINSON, RAISBECK and REED surnames and would appreciate the inscriptions if possible.

Many thanks

Alan

Looking for Elizabeth J ATKINSON death between 1884 and 1891.
Ralph ATKINSON after 1901
John RAISBECK b abt 1853 husband of Hannah nee EDDY b1857

these two had 14 children born Stockley Page Bank and Willington between 1875 and 1901.  John's  death around 1901 Hannah later when they were living in Willington.

John RAISBECK (Son of Matthew) b abt 1829 husband of Ann nee REED. 

I hope that helps.  I realise there may be quite a few.  Many thanks again.

Alan

Hello Alan. There may be quite a few burials but there are not many gravestones.
Not many could afford them and of those that could, not many have survived.
Here's what I have :-

In loving memory of Florence, beloved daughter of Henry and Maria Atkinson, who died March/9/1922 aged 21 years.

In loving memory of John Raisbeck of Page Bank, who died April/2/1901 aged 72 years.
Also of Ann, beloved wife of the above, who died August/28/1911 aged 76 years.

In loving memory of Jane Ann, beloved wife of John Reed of Oakenshaw, who died May/4/1910 aged 35 years.

In loving memory of Margaret Ellen, the beloved daughter of Henry and Hannah Reed of Oakenshaw, who died July/14/1900 aged 17 years.

In loving memory of Hannah, beloved wife of Henry Reed of Oakenshaw, who died April/7/1906 aged 51 years.
Also Margaret Ellen, daughter of the above, who died July/14/1900 aged 17 years.

There is another stone for Reed but I am afraid not a lot of it can be read. Here is what can be read
although words are missing and that may alter the meaning of the inscription so caution is advised.

Edward Reed husband Hannah reed who died  Sunderland 1901 aged 77 years.
