Thanks again, Adam.
It's a pity if some stones have been rendered unreadable: I thought I could perhaps discover why various people on the internet seem convinced John was born in 1712. My direct ancestor, his son George, was just a fairly successful businessman in Sheffield, but his brother John was a very innovative engineer, as well as a colliery manager, & his sons were another engineer, an Australian statesman, & a rather heroic RC priest. An interesting family.
Regards,
Geoffrey

Hello Linda. There are nine Greenwell gravestones from the late 1700's with inscriptions for the ranks of Colonels, Majors, Judges, Vicars etc.
Do you think they are yours?
Saves me typing out that lot if they do not belong to you.

Hello Steve. Here is the only gravestone inscription for Selby:-
In memory of John Selby of Langley Park, who died February/5/1804 aged 99 years.
Ann, his wife, died October/13/1824 aged 81 years.
And Elizabeth, their daughter, died June/25/1825 aged 40 years.
Also John, their son, who died December/12/1846 aged 73 years.
Also Barbara Byerley, their daughter, who died 9/July/1866? aged 68 years (the last date and age a bit difficult to read.
The lanchester Watchman inscription has already been posted on post 51. It is on the same gravestone as the Shield surname.
