I do live in Canada, but I was born in Northampton, in Far cotton, and moved to St James when I was 5. Hubby and I came to Canada when I was 22.
We are in England for a holiday every 3 years or so. And spend a week or two in Northampton so I can haunt the record office.

Hi Sandy
I cant thank you enough ! The other person who had a look at what i had done said it was SMART but i thought to myself no way surley i could not of mis read that ! and now you have proved me right, i will alter mine back to Smith !
When i did the Inscriptions i did every single grave that was standing or lieing down, every word that could be seen even just the odd letter, the only ones that i did not do where the smashed graves on the far side and inside the church ! it would be worth going into the church just to see what is there !
So it seems then my work has become a valued peice of work, with so many of the graves now gone  
Keep matching the pictures to the transcript, you will find you have a real treasure, !
Perhaps i should start on the ones down here in the Water Drought Dover area. before they are lost,
Ian

Well it happened again I thought I would have an early night and the Police Helicopter decided to fly
backwards and forwards for over an hour. 
Never mind Ian at least it meant that I could look at the missing bits and try and
fill some of them in from Alan's index.
Ian some are confirming your own, obviously all need checking and some are possibles. PLease do not forget they are Burial dates unless it says Died .
It really is time for bed.

Wonderful Sandy, just wonderful !
I see this all happend at around 1.30 in the morning !
Right i will check this all out when i get back from the vets
Mind you i could not sleep last night thinking about the graveyards, and how they have all gone!
Then i thought about the crem ! most there will go as you only pay for a certain amount of time then after that your plaque is removed, so yet again history dissapears. unless you keep up the payments...
Ian
Right off the the vets as it is 10 miles away

Hi Ian
I have sent them to you so that you have a copy and will remove from message now.
Also Francis's gravestone.
It is a good thing that the F.H.S are transcribing all the C of E Monumental Inscriptions for Northamptonshire.
I do my little bit by doing some Non-comformists graves as the burial records are not so available.
Hope all goes well at the vets.
Sandy

Thanks Sandy, got the e mail, and opened it ok.
Little Tosca is doing well, after his broken leg, and now can go swimming ! This dog has more fun then me now!
Not thought about Non Conformist Graves, being one myself LOL ! i should know this, but i didnt think there were any at the chapels? as i went to Mount Pleasant in Kettering Road. I have never seen a grave at all, just the odd mention of a person on a wall if they had done something for the church.

Sandy, I forgot to tell you what I was doing in Long Buckby churchyard on a sunday afternoon (besides avoiding the stinging nettles).
Alas, it was not an attempt to record all the inscriptions, just a search for any ancestor graves.

Hi Marilyn
Found your Boyes grave today will post in a moment.
What names are you researching in Long Buckby. Please do not say Muddimans!!! LOL.
Found alot of stinging nettles in St Sepulchre's besides 3 homeless people who use
the church arches and doorways to sleep in. How sad for a beautiful Church to be
used in this way.
Got back ache trying to clear the graves so we could match Ian inscription's.
Went round the grave yard for 4 hours and still have a third to do.
Although the good side is they will have been listed and photographs taken so
they will have their place in history soon.
Some eldery ladies said how lovely it was to be able to see the stones now. Bless.
Cheers Sandy

Hi Ian
Glad to hear that Tosca is recovering.
Our cat Lizzie is 21 on April 11th (and she was the smallest of the litter).
Not many towns ( correct me any one if I am wrong please) have graves although if in
cemeteries you can notice by the wording ones that could be non-conformists graves.
A lot of small villages still have there grave yards attached to their churches
and it is this I have been listing sometimes.
Guess you are going to be busy for a while LOL.
Cheers Sandy

Hi Sandy
I think i will have to do a revised version of the transcript now !
as i have managed either to put in dates or months and in some cases names ! i did note that Mayo should read Mayor
Now started on the Greenough lot (Your Fault) not an easy family to track !
But you got me going now with Thomas Greenough as he could be my 4X gt grandfather, i need to find the baptism of Francis Greenough
Keep up the good work Sandy You inspire us all !
Ian

HI Ian
That would be a good idea but do not forget to check for accuracy. LOL
Shame we could not find any graves (or did we).
I went into the pile by the wall and found some names and dates.
They were also some stones on the walkways (and footstones) so took those too.
Every one here (and elsewhere) inspires me too
Sandy

Oh no!!! Why can't I research Muddimans? (Anyway, I already did!) And yes, I know there are a lot of them. I think all of the 19thc ones are descended from Barker Muddiman.
Yes, MUDDIMAN is one of my names, also HANWELL and EARL (they moved to Long Buckby from Welton)
Betsy MUDDIMAN born 1829 to Isaac Muddiman and Elizabeth SEWELL (or SEAWELL, who married in Rugby)
married
James HANWELL born 1829 to William Hanwell and Fanny EARL.
I have seen Stephen's transcriptions, also the LB prs.

Well Marilyn
Most people researching their families in Long Buckby relate into the Muddimans.
Well I am sure if Stephen still watches this list he would agree I showed him how to
do it.!!!! (make his books that is) many moons ago when we were both learners.
Obviously I can not help with anything as you already note you have seen the sources available.
I need an early night and tonight I mean to get one. LOL.
Here is your Ann Boyes gravestone.
Cheers Sandy
