Hello Wearsider. Here are the inscriptions for Tow Law.

Also of Alice Fullerton, his beloved wife, who died November/28/1871 aged 60 years.
And of William Fullerton, son of the above who died April/10/1887 aged 25 years.
And of Margaret Fullerton, wife of Thomas Fullerton, who died May/4/1884?/ aged 33 years.
Also Thomas Fullerton, who died June/11/1876 aged 40 years.

There are nine Watson gravestones. Can you give me some Christian names?

Adam - many thanks for the information.  Stephen & Alice Fullerton are my gr gr grandparents and Thomas & Margaret are my gr grandparents.  Regarding William Fullerton I have him as being b 1841 which would make him 45 or 46 at his death.  You say that parts of this stone are very hard to read.

Regarding the Watsons, I am looking for information on Hannah d 1939:  Elizabeth b 1875; Frederick Gordon b 1877; George b 1901 d c1970; William b 1862.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Adam

many thanks for that.
Unfortunatley I don't think the Thompsons are the ones I am interested in, so it won't be necessary for the later ones. I'm just going through the Rowes now and it looks promising.

You seem to be doing half my work for me.  Shocked

Can I ask you adam, how do you know which inscriptions to do that have not been done before? Is there a listing anywhere?  I am thinking of doing the same as you have done for my local area in Leeds, but don't want to duplicate. Any advice welcome!! Grin Grin

Hello Lynn.
First look at the local history websites. Check their publications page to see what churches or cemeteries have been completed.
Go to the place that you would like to work on and have a walk round, checking the condition of the gravestones.
I find the industrial areas are usually better than the country ones because they do no have the amount of the dreaded lichen.
Wait until the autumn to start(less grass, weeds and trees/bushes to struggle against)
All you need then is a soft brush and a little hand spray.
Never try to scrape a stone because that only speeds up the weathering etc.
