Okay Tormor I will see what else I can find for you.
I am one of the children on the photograph on my avatar.
Are either of you from the area.
Maybe Liz can fill you in a bit more as we don't want to do
work she has already covered in helping you.

MOTHER OF THE ABOVE

FRANK GRIFFITHS
HOLLIS
YOUNGEST SON OF
WILLIAM GRIFFITHS AND
ANN ANDREW HOLLIS
DIED MARCH 21 1896
AGED 28

As the stone is worn without Ian's transcript I would not have been
able to note it all.
The Northamptonshire Family History Society have just brought a new
M.I. for the Churchyard. I will get a copy a.s.a.p. to confirm against
what Ian and I already have noted.

Hi Lizzie
Unfortunately we don't appear to be allowed to exchange email addresses. You will see that your reply has been modified.
How do we move forward from here? This is all very well but it's like typing through a letterbox!
Sandy has come up trumps with the transcriptions and photographs, for which I am most grateful as I don't live in the area and it would be worth going to see this collection.
Best wishes
Tormor

Hi Sandy
Thank you very much for both the transcriptions and the pictures. These are a tremendous help.
We don't come from or live in the area but your work has shown that it is worth going to see this collection before they get a work-out type vicar who thinks he'll pick up these stones just for practice. I wonder who owns them?!? An interesting piece of gen that the Church is 12th Century. Thank you for that. Is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre a different one, or the same?
Many thanks and best wishes
Tormor

Hi again Tormor.
It is difficult to read all the questions at once. 
I think you would enjoy your visit, which would benefit from a look at
original Parish Records of your ancestors at the Local Studies Area of the
Library or Record Office, if they Baptised at St.Seph's.
They may also hold other information about William Senr.
My avator is the picture on the left of my reply, it shows me as a young girl.
Sandy
