Hi

Yes, pm is personal messages - Rootschat's own messaging - click on symbol on right.  Only thing is it's easier to attach images by email.

Thank you for the details.

I'll have a good read.

Best wishes

Not sure if you already have this by now - I live in Thursby and have a full list of transcriptions of the gravestones in the old part of the churchyard.
Inscription on Robert Jackson's grave is -

Sacred to the Memory of Robert Jackson, M.D. Inspector of Military Hospitals who departed this life the 6th of April 1827 at Thursby aged 76 years. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.

Very interested in your previous postings regarding his history as I am researching the village history for a booklet we hope to publish to raise funds for the village. Thanks,
Jo

Dear Jo

I haven't yet managed to visit Thursby to see the grave stone so am very pleased to hear from you.  Thank you.

I'm not much further in my research either because of pressure of work but if you would like more information about Dr Jackson for your booklet, please let me know.

A thought occurs.  Have you come across a Dr Barnes in the churchyard transcriptions?  He apparently attended Dr Jackson when he died and knew him towards the end of his life, writing up a "sketch" of the man and his achievements.

Best wishes
