Gravestone look up: Tipton St Martin Church
« on: Saturday 18 June 05 14:12 UTC (UK) »
According to the NBI, Mary Nightingale was buried at St Martins Church, Tipton, on 10 August 1832 aged 45. If the gravestone is still standing (or the church for that matter!), I'd love to know whether the inscription gives details of her marriage and/or children – I'm hoping she might be wife of Joseph and mother of Sarah and William.

Does any kind soul live near enough to this church to check it out for me? I'd be really grateful.

Thanks!

Thanks anyway.

the parish records should be at smethwick i can look for you on tuesday as i go there each week for myself.  i think the original st martins church was knocked down and a new one built in the town but i'm not sure my info on that is ok... there are a few graves left in the old church yard but it is overgrown and locked i can speak to the people who are suposed to look after the ground for you and ask if they have records. in the archives there is a book that has interesting grave stones in tipton so i will look at that for you... is there anything else i can help you with...sue Smiley

Hello Sue

That's a really kind offer! Cheesy

I'm trying to find the mother of Sarah Nightingale, who was born in Tipton around 1819. Her father was Joseph Nightingale: I have found details of his second marriage to Mary Newman in 1833 but I can't find any trace of his first wife, Sarah's mother. I thought the Mary Nightingale buried in Tipton in 1832 looked a promising prospect and was just hoping that a gravestone might say something helpful like " beloved wife of Joseph and mother of Sarah" (as if life was ever that easy!)

If you came across anything that might help track down Sarah's mother (without taking up too much of your time) I'd be really grateful.

Thank you very much!

Hi Sue

It was just because I saw the death – I haven't any idea what her name might have been unfortunately. Not much help, I know!
