Good evening
I am doing some research for a friend and this journey has taken us to Newtown Linford, can anyone help with PRs and MIs please.
I am looking for the name GRAY in particular Thomas GRAY born abt 1766 but this is just a guess, he married Mary HERRICK in 1796 at Newtown Linford, I have 5 children for them, all information is from the IGI.
Have the MIs been 'done' for Newtown Linford?
Any help is always appreciated.

Hi Mike
Wow!!!!!!
Thank you so much, that's great  I found some on the IGI but that makes it more complete for me.
Can I ask do you know if there are any MIs for All Saints please?

Mike, I just can't believe it, how wonderful, if you did the transcribing then many thanks if not and you know who did then please pass my thanks and that of my friend who's ancestors they are.
I am not new to Family History but I can honestly say this is the first time I have seen MIs done in this fashion and it is as good as seeing the headstones.
Thank you again, with kindest regards

Hi again Mike
I Just wonder if your GRAY'S are related to...... Lady Jane Grey. ?>
Now wouldn't that be a connection 
<I hope you explored that site to it's fullest extent ? >
Indeed, that is what I am doing right now. I now know the history of the MIs and am busy filling in the information for my friend. I wish I had found a site like this for my own ancestors, the web master and contributors have my grateful thanks, I can't wait to show my friend.
With kind regards

Yes, that would make sense.
A further question if I may, is there an index to the MIs please?
Kind regards

Greeting’s again. …DeeN.
There is an Index Link is above the links to headstones
BUT …….not very helpful.
Copied details :~
67 S32, S33, S34, S45
68 S44, S46, S47, S48
69 S53, S54, S55, S56
I translate these to read left to right
67. = Page No'.
S = Row No’.
32 = Plot No’.
Thus giving the location within the Churchyard
MIKE. …Exits right >>>>>>> Walking backwards bowing to Royalty…..
UPDATED.
Just had another look at the Headstones
Yes the No's. in the index relates to the drawings of the headstones
S44, S46, S47, S48 = Your Gray's

Hi Mike
Thanks I got all the GRAY's I was trying to see if I could work out of any of the marriages of the GRAY ladies.
By the by, the ancestors from my family I am trying to link up with is Sir William BRERETON the parliamentarian who was beheaded for an alleged dalliance with Anne BOLEYN - now wouldn't that be a nice connection.
Kind regards
Dee

Hi Mike
Indeed a short carriage ride away The Stamfords lived at Dunham Massey, I have been a visitor there many times 
I think the connection with the GREY's is he succeeded the barony of Grey of Groby via a distant cousin.
I noted that on the MI for William ADAMS (the brother of Elizabeth who married Joseph GRAY) it says this
….. and one of the Gamekeepers of
The Earl of Stamford and Warrington
Amiable in his deportment and
faithful in the discharge of his
Duty, he lived universally
respected and lost his life on the
30 May 1829
in assisting to drag a fishnet
through the culvert in this village
That should be an interesting one to follow up.
Dee
