I think this is an absolutely excellent idea. I live in Lincoln and would be more than happy to check out churchyards in this city and surrounding villages where possible. It would give me an opportunity to 're-pay' in some way all help I have received from people on rootschat in the past. In fact I've been doing this for friends and distant relatives recently whenever I go to mutual areas of interest.

I have my area listed under Shropshire to think it might be useful here as well.

Will check and photograph graveyards in Whitchurch, Marbury, and Tushingham - all are in northern Shropshire/south Cheshire.

Some are as usual not in great condition - as we all know!!

Cheers

Hi All,

Right  - can anyone help a local Vicar!!

He used to be the senior Archivist for Pembrokeshire Records Office - so also has an interest similar to us.

He has noticed in 3 churchyards that he attends very similar headstone carvings - all the graves were done about 1880 - he was wondering what it means?
He thinks a lots of carvings on the headstones had a deep, forgotten meaning, and was wondering what this particular one means.
He told me that a pillar cut of at an angle and used as a headstone represented "The Staff of Life Cut Short" - learn something new every day!!

Anyone any ideas on this?

Cheers

Keith

I think the idea is GREAT.......... BUT I dare
not tell you were I live....




Do you have your graves for Blackburn?
I know a good phone number if you need
to locate them  (I do not think the service would
like me to post it on here)
