Christopher Todd - Durham died 1850 St Brandon

[squinn5]

Here it is

Hi

I thinking that the headstone is incorrect - as Christopher's will is signed on the 28th January 1856 and was 'proved' on the 16th February 1856. There is only one death in 1856 for a Christopher and that is in the March quarter. Maybe who ever did the headstone wasn't aware of the actual date of death.

In the will he mentions:
His mother 'Isabella'
His sister 'Margaret' - (executor)
Thomas Wilkie of Durham the son of Thomas Wilkie (his sister Ann married Thomas Wilkie')
Ann Wilkie
Christopher Surrey (his sister Isabella married Christopher)
His Brother Robert
Elizabeth Halliday Widow (assuming his eldest sister?)
There is also another name that I can't work out - widow of William? I think it looks like 'Jane'.

I think that's what William and I were discussing - wrong daste on the headstone and then the date of the will.  See the posts before and after  the image

Has anyone actually seen the headstone or just photos? Could it be that the 6 has weathered to look like a 0?

I have only one son born to Christopher Todd 1757 and Eleanor Hart that is Robert Born 1780. He went on to marry Isabel Apedaile the sister of My line Ann Apedaile who married Christopher Todd 1782-1847.

Thanks but am a little confused , are you saying that Christopher (1782) is not the son of Christopher & Eleanor or have I misunderstood?

I have see the baptism for their son George Todd (my connection) which says his parents are Christopher & Eleanor so they did have more than one son as well as another 4.

Thanks

Thanks, I only just got to reading the will in full detail this morning..

I still think it looks like a 6 but the actual date can't be correct (13th January) when he signed the will on the 28th January.

It could also be that the stonemason misread the information given. This happened on one of my 4 x grandparents  gravestone.
