Monumental Inscriptions for Hamsterley

[CathyM]

Hello Adam

I'd be very grateful for the Hamsterley MIs for Gill - particularly the 18 th cent. but early 19th would be useful too.  Thanks very much.

Hello Cathy.Here is the only one that is a burial for the early 1800's although there are some others from the mid to late 1800's of deaths with ages of 80's and 90's.
There is also an interesting gravestone at Witton le Wear from 1837 with an age of 71 years.

Here is the Hamsterley one:-

In memory of Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony and Elizabeth Gill of Crane Beck Row, who died 17/June/1800 aged 16 years.
Also of Richard their son, who died 7/September/1809 aged 17 years.

Hello Adam

Thanks very much for your prompt reply.  If it wouldn't be too much trouble I would like to have the later Gill MIs and the Witton-le-Wear one too.  I am trying to get a line on the family of my ggg grandfather, Thomas Gill, born 1791, according to the 1851 and 1861 censuses at Wolsingham.  I wondered if he could be connected with the Hamsterley Gills.

Thanks once again

Regards

Hello Cathy. If you want the Witton le Wear inscription just post the request on the Witton le Wear thread.
That way there is no confusion because I do not do cross postings. I have posted inscriptions for 23 graveyards/cemeteries.
I can tell you that there are no inscriptions for Gill at Wolsingham other than 20th cen stones.
I will sort out the late 19th cen inscriptions for Hamsterley and post the here later

Hello Adam.  Thank you very much for all this info.  No progress with my Thomas Gill unfortunately.  I'll just have to keep on digging around.

Thanks once more for your help
