Hello Linda. Only one for Fleetham:-

In memory of Mary, daughter of George and Mary Fleetham, who died February/171763? aged 10years and 8 months. The year 17 is correct but the 63 part is a bit iffy because of lichen on the date.

Hi Adamand,

I am interested in any information wrt any BOWES family inscriptions as my wife can trace her ancestors to The Bowes family of Quarry Hill house at Brancepeth.

Can you assist?

Hi Adam,

Thanks very much for the info wrt Bowes burials at St Brandons, Brancepeth.

Unfortunately there does not appear to be a connection with the Bowes family that I am researching which are Thomas Bowes and his son Thomas who occupied Quarry Hill House between c1690 to c1750.

Thanks once again.

Regards,

Thanks Adam. Sadly this is not mine although you never know I might find a connection later on.  :-\

You seem to have collated a lot of monumental inscriptions. Do you have any for Houghton or Easington? Still looking for Tindale or Tindall.
Regards
Alison

This picture was taken not too far from Brancepeth, I note that it has a variation on the name Tindale (i.e. Tindile).  Could it be part of what you are looking for?

Regards,
