St John's, Chester Monumental Inscriptions

[stonemouse]

Can anyone visiting the Cheshire Record Office find the time to do a look up for me please.

I understand that the MIs for St John's, Chester have been transcribed.

I am looking for an entry for Angonetta Massey d 4 Oct 1854, her husband, John Massey d 16 Feb 1855. Four of their children died before reaching their first birthday, Ann d 1799, Thomas d 1801, Eliza d 1806 and Edward d 1810. Sometimes Angonetta called herself Ann.

If time permits, is there anything for Samuel Massey d 6 Apr 1859 or his wife, Mary Hannah Massey d 16 Mar 1864.

Many thanks in advance

Mike (Marsh)

Hello stonemouse
You were correct the MI's were transcribed for St John the Baptist at Chester Record Office.
On checking the index the following were listed as containing the name Massey:

274 Pg 274: Maria Millicent Massey Maddocks (not transcribed, will transcribe if on your tree)
807 Pg 807: Charles Bowker Massey (not transcribed, will transcribe if on your tree)

1153 Pg 107:
Slab on 3 transverses
H.L. Mary Ann, daughter of John and Ann Massey, died 19 May 1821, aged 14yrs.
Also Ann, Thomas, Eliza and Edward, children of the above, who all died young.
Also John, son of above, John and Ann Massey, died 27 December 1848, aged 53.
Ann Massey, mother of above, died 4 October 1854, aged 90years.

1504/90 Pg 157: George Massey, died 27 January 1903, aged 54, buried cemetery.
There was one more Index 1647 7.8.: but incorrect no Massey listed.
Why was father John buried at Overleigh?
Unfortunately, Samuel and Mary Hannah not listed in Index.
Hope this is of help, marthaannie

Hello stonemouse
If you can find out if the stone is still at St John's, and its location, quite happy to take a photograph for you.

Hello marthaannie

Thanks ever so much for that information and for your efforts on my behalf. I'll try and find out whether there is a gravestone to photograph. In answer to your question, I don't know why Ann's husband, John is buried at Overleigh. I'd wondered about that myself. Once again, thanks for what you've done.

Regards
