Alan. If the vipond's moved into Co Durham I have another 3 gravestones that may be of interest. 2 from Stanhope and one from Stanley, Crook.

3 Jul 1762 Jona Kidd to Mary SIMPSON
14 Nov 1822 Thomas SIMPSON to Elizabeth Kidd
Sorry no 20th Century stuff. terry
Terry, thank you very much for this. I think the Kidds will be mine - ironically, through marriage to my Watsons (of Renwick) not to the Simpsons. Unfortunately, I don't know if I've got earlier Simpsons in Alston. My g-grandfather moved there from Renwick where he'd married Margaret Watson but I believe he's from Morland originally. The question is whether it's his Simpson family who moved out to Renwick and Alston before him or if he's completely unrelated.
Back to the drawing board...

Hi Geoff, that map is astonishing! I think that's the cemetary that I went to last year - unfortunately, I didn't know Isaac's d.o.death then or that he wasn't originally from Alston so only looked at the earlier headstones. I'll be back later in the year and will find him then.

I'm interested in the Milburns in Alston. Especially any John Milburn born around 1780's. I would be interested in any burials in order to rule out some threads I've been researching.
