M inscriptions for Crook

[LaurieA]

Adam, here's what I do have, and it's not much:

Thomas Hardy was born abt 1795 in Knaresdale, Northumberland. I have two sets of possible parents that same year and place!

His wife I'm really not sure of, but his daughter I am certain of: Ann Hardy was born abt 1822 in Kirkoswald, Cumberland. She married William Indian and then in County Durham, she married again to William Foster/Forster. Her siblings are unknown. I can document her marriage, but that's about it, so you can see why her father is even harder. I'm simply stumped on those two.

Hello Laurie. There is a Hardy gravestone for Hardy at Satley.
May not be of any use but you can put it on file in case.
I will post it on the correct thread.

Hello

Please may I ask if you have any info regarding RUDKIN ?
The surname was mentioned in your original post and I am particularly looking for John RUDKIN who died in 1925 and his wife Jane (nee GILLILAND) RUDKIN who died in 1950, though I would be grateful for any and all RUDKIN info you may have :-)


Thank you

Boo

Oh thank you! Its really kind of you to do all this (I have been looking through the thread and you have done an enormous amount of work in order to help others) and it is very much appreciated.

I have the CWGC record of Sidney's death but its really nice to have this extra info and getting the actual death dates for Jane and John is a real bonus.
Its especially nice to see that Florence is there with her Mum and Dad. On the 1901 census there was an entry to say she was 'feeble minded' which I suppose was the terminology of the day for a condition  that would be much better understood now, I have this feeling though that then, as now, children came along and were loved no matter what their individual problems may have been.

Does the record you have give any indication of whereabouts the grave is in the cemetery? I feel an email coming on to ask if a friend in the UK would be able to go along and perhaps photograph the gravestone :-)

Thanks again Adam, you are a star :-)

Boo
