Hello Jay. Sorry about the delay. Here it is:-

Sacred to the memory of Mr? H Brodbelt, late of Breckon Foot in Yorkshire, who died in ye year1700.
Also of his son Mich'l Brodbelt of S H Auckland, who died October the 30th 1706 age 72 years
Also of his grandson Mich'l, who died October ? 1796.
Also of his 3? wife Mary Lily Ann?
Also of Michael Watson, son of Robert and Jane Watson.

There is more on the stone but it is below ground level and I never disturb the grave area.

Could you look up the entries for Little? I'm particularly looking for Elizabeth Little (died Dec 1870) and William Little (died Jul 1871) both of St Helen Auckland.

And is there a Mary Brown (died Jan 1879)?

Many thanks

Hi Adam,

you're doing a great job providing these inscriptions - Good on you!

Have you any Todd inscriptions in the West Auckland area?  There should be quite a few as it was a common enough name in those parts.  Any you have would add to my store of knowledge.

Many thanks,

Simon
