M inscriptions for Crook

[Adamand]

Hello Chris. The gravestone inscription for Ellen is correct as  March/5/1824 and died March/19/1894.
The date for the other one in question should have been a (9) 1894 and not 1884. The mistake should have been self evident because I have already given the correct dates as you have confirmed with the certificate
I did not say that it was a double grave, all I gave was the inscription and that is correct. (9 in place of the
Because it has a persons name  on the stone does not mean that both persons was buried in that plot. Although in this case he was:)
If you look at the inscriptions later on in post number 130 you will see a gravestone inscription with:-
John William, Mary Ann, Frederick, Christopher and another Mary Ann. They were not all buried in that grave but were entered on the gravestone inscription.

Thanks for sorting that out. I had not realised that a grave could carry an inscription for someone buried elsewhere [at least, not without stating that fact]. I am still curious about why there were 2 separate graves - but I guess I won't unravel that.
Thanks again for the reearch.
Best wishes

Hello Adam, do you have anything for a Martin Johnson b1844 d24/12/1925? He was a Wesleyan so I don't know if they had a specific area for 'chapel folk'. His wife was Mary Ann. Thank you. Gem.

Hello Gem. I have plenty for Johnson at Crook but nothing for a Martin Johnson.

Ok Adam, thanks for looking. Do I have to contact the local authority or the Durham records office to check for the siting of the grave, do you know? Gem

[Adamand]

Hello Gem. It will be the local authority you need to contact.
There may be a gravestone for Martin Johnson and it may be in the overfill from the older part of the cemetery that I have done.
It is very large indeed but the newer part is all very organized and in nice straight lines.
That should make the grave easy to find.
