St Albans, Earsdon Old Memorial Inscriptions - Volume at North Shields Library

[River Tyne Lass]

I have come across a volume of memorial inscriptions for St Alban's Church at Earsdon which is kept on the shelves at North Shields library.  I thought I would just let other RootsChatters know about this in case this might be of help.

The inscriptions contained appear to be for the older grave stones .. I have a couple of people there buried in the late 1800s/early 1900s who have a gravestone but their memorial inscription is not in there.  The inscriptions do not appear to be written in any particular order and appear to be for the earlier gravestones in the grave yard.   

This book may be worth looking at if you think you might have ancestors with a gravestone at this Church.

I have just started  investigating my Duxfield ancestors in Earsdon. Mine is Timothy who married Mary Myers in 1794- I found her parents and Grandfather MI and grave in lanchester in a good state. (1763, 1777 and 1779 on same headstone) I think his father was Joseph Duxfield and his George Duxfield. Anyway I am not on facebook but I wondered if anyone knew if Duxfield Graves from the 18th century still exist or have a copied out inscription?  Thanks
