Thank you very much for your trouble, although, I don't think they are mine. Auckland is the area, could be Bishop Auckland or even Coundon,  but I don't know which church - thanks again though, you are doing a fabulous service. :)
Kind regards
Caz.

Hello Caz. I have other gravestones for Fletcher that will come under the Auckland area.
2 for Wolsingham
1 for Frosterley
3 for Hunwick
1 for crook
1 for Willington.
If you think they may be a possibility that any could be yours just post the christian names with approx dates and I will have a look.

Hello John, Only one stone and only part of it is readable. Here is what can be read :-

To the memory of two son and daughter  of Richard and  A Bownas.
Geo, who died 4/July/72 age 12 weeks.
Eliz, 27/July/8.

Sorry that is all that can be read. The rest is totally obliterated.

Hi Adam

I'm interested in the name Carter, especially John and Isabella who were living in West Auckland when their son Richard was accidently killed. I've got my fingers crossed that there might be a M.I for one of them.

Many thanks
