Hello Eileen,
Just spotted your page on the Ancestry site, but it has been cancelled, Do you still have information on Davison Burials? I am looking for burials in the Merseyside area.

Hi Eileen,
Thank you so much for the chance to ask you about the DEACON'S. My sister-in-law was married to a DEACON whose family came from Windhill, Idle, Caverley, England. Was wondering if you have anything on a Benjamin, born abt. 1766 and his wife, Hannah/Sarah, nee Spencer. Children: Benjamin, 1782; Jonas. 1793; Richard, 1807; James, 1808; Joshua, b. 1814; Alfred, b. 1819, dod. July 27, 1892; John, b. 1819; and Abraham, born Nov 10, 1824, dod, May 2, 1895, Chicago, Illinois (USA)

Children were all born in Windhill, Idle, Caverley, England.

Thank you for anything and for even reading this. :)

Bonnie Duff-Smith 3 weeks ago

Great job! Thank you! I'm a 50+year DUFF researcher. Scotland is my brick wall. They left Scotland for Carrickfergus area of N. Ireland. The line is SAMUEL DUFF, but I cannot find the link that connects him to his family in Scotland - he was born ca. 1700-1720. There were 4 Samuels from two lines, Mine was Samuel Duff who m. Margaret MONTGOMERY ca. 1740 They were in

the colonies by 1750s. Lots of USA info to exchange. Thanks. Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, the only information a Scottish Duff would be that of a baby called Andrew Duff, who was born in January 1891 and died on the 30th of September of the same year. His parents were Andrew Duff and Tabitha Duff who lived at 50 Cavendish Street, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Below you will find the excerpt from the Parish Register.

June Barnes 2 weeks ago

I see you have Dunkley listed - be very interested to learn more about what you have!

Allan Dunkley born Jan 1910, unbaptized, buried 6 Jun 1910, residence at time of death; 21 Anson Road, Wolverton, Buckinghamshire (Source All Trinity Church Burial Records, Old Wolverton)

Benjamin and Helen Amelia Dunkley, buried 1936 in St. Laud's, Sherington, Buckinghamshire, England, Grave location 41a

And one photo as below - unfortunately there has been paint poured over this gravestone and this has happened in a number of graveyards I have visited lately (if I caught anyone doing it I think it would end up over their heads instead of on the headstones).

Re: EMILY FLORENCE DURDIN

jessedurdin I am from Jasper, Texas, my name is Kelcie Durdin, A.K.A. Jesse, i would love to know any info you have on her. I dont know much about my family history.

Emily Florence Durdin is buried at St. James Church in New Bradwell, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, she died 24 Jan 1927 and was born around 1896. I pass by the churchyard most days and if you want a photograph of the grave I will take one for you.

Bob Doris 4 weeks ago

My grandparents came from Birmingham England in a ship that both steam and sail . The family name is Eccleston and thought to be from Liverpool originally. Any info would nice

Liverpool was originally part of the county of Lancashire, although now in allocated to that of Merseyside. I have 3 burials in the late 1700s for ECCLESTON, in Lancashire, but not Liverpool;

12 Aug 1788 John, buried Holy Trinity, Shaw

1 Mar 1789 Nancy, buried Christ Church, Over Wyresdale

6 Apr 1795 (no Christian name), Christ Church, Over Wyresdale.

Not sure if you've tried it or not yet but the Ellis Island records would surely have information if they came over from England (a lot of ships came out of Liverpool to the USA), their search facility is really good and you should always look at the image of the original ship's manifesto it has a lot more information and sometimes contains a description of the passenger and where they were going to and who they were travelling with and going to visit or stay with.

Hello Eileen! You are an angel with a beautiful heart to help strangers with their genealogical search. Maybe you can help me. When I was a teenager my grandmother, Ethel Sinkler (Shelton, daughter of William Sinkler and Julia Gailliard) who was born in Summerville, South Carolina told me that her grandmother,(possibly her mother's mother), Florence Farr came from England. I don't know where in England. I see in your list of names that Farr is included. I greatly appreciate ANY information you have to share. Thank you very very much!!

Florence Mary Farr buried 1 Jan 1894, age 18 months, St. Martin, Oweston, Lincolnshire, this is the only Florence Farr that I have details of, hope that there may be a connection for you. If you get some idea of an definite area let me know and I'll see what else I can dig up for you (no pun intended).

John Fuller 2 weeks ago

Thanks for all the hard work, Eileen. I am interested in the surnames Fuller and Parrott, which are both in your list. "Somewhere in England" is the only location I can offer. If the entries you have are not too numerous I would love to see what you have. Thanks again.

I have one occurrence of a FULLER locally but when I visited the church was closed and apparently his memorial is on a board inside the church, he was:

Edward Fuller who died in 1705, and the church is St. Laud's Church, Sherington, Buckinghamshire.

FULLER is a very popular name, if you could contact me by email directly through HubPages I will see if we can find some more info for you.

Coincidentally the Parrott information is for the same church, please see the information below under Surnames I-R.

Sandy 5 weeks ago

would love to see photo of graves for Gascoyne and Allgood............can contact me directly at bubbatva@aol.com

No photographs so far on these, only information from the parish registers, I have visited the churchyard but could not find the tombstones, when I have time I will have another go for you.

George Gascoyne, died 15 June 1929 aged 69 years, and on same tombstone

Sarah Gascoyne, died 3 January 1942 aged 83 years - buried in St. James Church, New Bradwell, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

GREAVES (in Rotherham, South Yorkshire)

Thank you.

Hi Eileen

Do you have any info on Selby Family or Gunthorpe Family, i noticed them in your listing. Any help would be gratefully received.

Jacqui Moce 18 hours ago

Would be greatly interested in Gurney graves if available.

In St. Andrew, Wraysbury, Buckinghamshire there is a Cruciform headstone on the West side of the church: Sacred to the Memory of Bathsheba Gurney, who died 14th April 1856, aged 73.

In the north transept of St. James the Great, Bierton, Buckinghamshire is a memorial plaque: Here lye the bodies of Samuel and Jane Gurney. Samuel departed this life June 30th 1713: Jane departed Feb. 24th 1687.

The burials I have in my records are actually from Buckinghamshire my apologies I was sure I had one in Bedfordshire, the details I have are:

31 Jan 1654 - Mary Harrod, St. Peter & St. Paul's Church, Newport Pagnell, the gravestone no longer exists.

If there are other areas of the country that you are more interested in please let me know.

The 3 Hicks burial records I have are very early ones and taken directly from the Newport Pagnell Parish Burial Records:

Buried:
2nd February 1654 - Jerimiah Hicks, son of Robert Hicks
September 1655 (after 11 September) - Elisabeth Hicks, daughter of Richard Hicks
and
1st December 1655 - Lettis Hicks, widow

Lynn 2 weeks ago

this is really a great site...thank you!

I checked through your surnames and sadly didn't see any Hirsts?

My ggggrand father was Ira Hirst, born in 1828 Batley, Morley. His father was David and mother was Martha nee Fox. Ira moved his family to SA where he died and his family remained.

Should you find any grave info on his father and mother and even their ancestors, I would be so happy as I cant find any info further back to see who my ancestors were in the Hirst line.

ira married Adelaide Octavia Kinsman and because her father was Curator of Gildersome I have luckily found lots of info...

Take care!

Hi Lynn, I hope this helps a little with your search for your HIRST family, these are buried in All Saints Church, Batley, West Yorkshire.
