HI SHARON, I'VE BEEN TO THE CEMETERY THIS AFTERNOON.

THE PLOT 33-21 HAS NO STONE & PLOT 30-21 HAS A STONE FOR THOMAS & JANE CLARKSON BOTH DIED 1866.
I HAVE TAKEN A PIX INCASE YOU STILL WANT IT...MAYBE THERE ARE SOME RELATION.

LOUISE

Thanks for that.  Unfortunately Thomas and Jane Clarkson aren't relatives.  Such a shame their graves aren't marked/have the wrong stone.  Thanks for looking.

Sharon x

Louise, can you please still send me the photograph of the above plot?

Hi MT, Sharon & Dave
I'm back from my trip to Scarborough.

MT, I trawled both graveyards and only one of your rellies (Rebe) has a headstone (she is buried with her mother).  I found that was also the case for most of my Abrams too.  I took a pic of the one for Rebe and will email it to you. Most of the detail at the bottom of the stone has been weathered away over the years but you can read most of her name.  I didn't think you would require photos of those without headstones, hope that was a correct assumption!

Sharon, I took some photos of Quay Street for you.  There is a number 25 but I don't think it's the original building.  I will forward the pictures to you over the next day or so.  I checked every single headstone in St Mary's but I couldn't find one for Abraham Hewson.  A lot of them were illegible, some had been moved to the perimeter and some even laid as a footpath! Those were the worstly worn ones of all.

Dave, I hit the same stumbling block as you when I asked Woodlands Office for a list of Websters.  Apparently there are 194 of them.  I guess they consider that too many to print off.  The man in the office said I would need to give him a year of death or first name, as he did you.  I do have some information about the Websters from Seamer as my g/grandfather worked for a William Webster on Seamer Moor Farm for many years.  I will piece together what I can for you and forward the details.

So guys, I'm sorry my trip wasn't more productive for you. 

Sharon

Thanks Sharon!

Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I'm also glad that the plans of the boneyard that I sent you enabled you to wander not-so-aimlessly around!

Hi MT

I would have been ripping my hair out at Dean Road without your plan!  Even with it, I found it took a while to get my bearings.  It's a shame that so many plots are unmarked with a stone, mind you tons of those that are there have been eroded over the years.  Would that be the salt in the "sea air"?  The ones at St Marys were the worst for that.  I also photographed a headstone with your surname on it for a Thomas, Martha & Gertrude as it caught my attention.  Do you have a copy of it already?

I enjoyed the search but I am so disappointed I don't have arms full of photos and stuff for you all.

Yes thanks - got this lot. They are great-great-uncle and his family.

I'm now going to officially vacate this thread; can someone please pm me to let me know when they feel it is 'completed' and I will mark it as such so that it can be moved to the 'dead-thread-zone'?

Thanks Sharon, I guess I'll have to send them a list of first names and see where we get to. In the mean time, any Webster info you have would be relaly welcome. Chances are, given the number of my relatives in Scarborough, some of them will hit lucky!

Hi Sharon

Thanks for all your efforts.  Hope you don't have too many blisters on your feet from searching for Abraham's grave!

Thanks again, your efforts are very much appreciated.
