While looking for something else I came across the Farnhill and Kildwick History Group and their collection of mystery photos. Among these were a couple relating to Kildwick:

Even more disgusting that St Andrews in Kildwick appears to still be in use!

Its must be a decade ago or more ago, I was looking for grave for someone on Rootschat in Christ Church graveyard Liversedge, West Yorkshire UK. The graveyard was slit by a lane (see link)

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.7116911,-1.6935224,3a,75y,176.2h,82.83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sPsmV672xqjvmWMiXutA3pA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

It was said by locals a car park had been built in the graveyard opposite the main church graveyard on the other side of the lane, where headstones had been moved to be propped against a wall and I supposed the coffin body remains moved (but not sure on that ? as it looked a very DIY job carpark.) Locals said its a was a rockband who practiced in the church cellars who had nowhere to park their vans/cars and others locals said it was the church officials.

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

I had a look at ST Andrew's church in Kildwick in craven for the 2 George graves
 8th April 1762 & 1768 3rd November but the churchyard is in a right old mess (Unsafe) and none of the graves stones which were safely accessible did not have the grave stones you wanted info of MI's or Epitphs or a photo's of.

Sorry. :-\
