Hello again. Here are the surnames from the Hamsterley (265) gravestones.
The names in brackets show that more than one surname(s) are on the same stone.
These were done in the Autumn and there are several that were enclosed in a mass of bushes making it impossible to read. The list does not include the overflow section from the main church graveyard.

Blenkinsop, Bradley(Wilkinson) Bradwell, Brown, Brownbridge, Buchan, Burn, Carmichael, Carr, Chaloner, Chapman, Charlton,  Coatsworth, Cole, Collingwood, Corner, Craggs, Cranson, Cummings, Dent, Dodd, Dowling, Dowson, Dunn, Elliott, Evans, fawcet, Featherstone, Firbank, Firbank(Thompson) Forster, Gardiner, Gibbon, Gibson, Gill, Gill(Beckwith-Johnson) Gill(Firbank-Harker) Granger, Gray, Greenwell, Hall, Hankey, Harker, Harle, Heads, Henderson(Hodgson-Oliver) Henderson(Thompson) Herron(Walton) Heslop, Hetherington, Hindmarch, Hodgson, Hopper, Hunter, Jackson, Jewit, Johnson, Jolly, Jopling, Kirkup, Langstaff, Longstaff, Lowson, Main, Mainprize, Marquis, Maughan, Milner(Rev Lovejoy) Morgan, Nary, Oliver, Parkin, Parkin(Johnson) Parkinson?, Pattison, Peat(Pear?)

If you can give me approx dates then it saves sending information that is not required. ie no point in me posting inscriptions for 1900' if you want 1800's

No multiple requests please.
