Thanks for the fast reply. Solomon was my nanas maiden name and her and her sister and two brothers lived in Commercial St. in the 1901 census .Her father was a master painter in Willington in the 1880's. I just wondered if any of them were buried in Willington. My great Grandmother
Thanks for the fast reply. Solomon was my nanas maiden name. She and her sister and two brothers lived in Commercial street in the 1901 census. Her father was a master painter in Willington and her mother was a Watson. My nana and her sister played the piano at the local cinema for the silent films.

Thank you for your help. although I have two Elizabeth Watson and 1 John the dates do not tie in, it must have been a common name in that area.

Hi Adam,
Thanks again for the info on the Boleyn family grave at St Stephens, my mother & I visited Durham & couple of weeks ago & went to see it.
I would like to ask you if you could send me any info you have on the Dixon family graves. We are still trying to track down some living relatives & our only hope now seems to be through any siblings of Alice Boleyn nee Dixon.
Many thanks for all your help
Emma

You mentioned other surnames but I do not know if you wanted the inscriptions.

Martin and Bell. My great x3 grandfather lived in Willington ( a Longstaff) and it appears he had numerous family members. We live in Derbyshire so not sure where all the graveyards are!!
