St Saviour - Foremark-COMPLETED

[Ezyka]

Hello.  I've found that my GGGG Grandparents are buried in St Savior, Foremark in Derbyshire.  Does anyone have a list of the gravestones there?  I think its unlikely that they will have had a stone but i'd like to check.  They worked at Foremark Hall.  Their names were Thomas Pound b.1813 d.1885 and Matilda Pound (nee Durman) b.1811 d.1871.  Has anyone ever been to the Church in Foremark?  I've been through the area once but couldn't spot it.

Hi Ezyka, the church is in the grounds of the Foremark Hall, that I believe is now a fee paying school, so is not easily seen.

I just wondered though if you had seen the churches Baptisms on this site?

Just seen the post on this site.  My Gt Grandfather worked as gamekeeper at Foremark Hall in the late 1800s; it will be interesting to see if I can find any of his family on the Baptisms mentioned by Skewbald.  The youngest son (whose own son is still alive) was born there...so I may be in luck.  Thanks, Skewbald!

Yeah, that site is really good!  Thats where I found the burial records.  Thomas Pound was a gardener and woodman at Foremark Hall.  I wonder if your relation worked there at the same time?

Hi, there: 

My great-grandfather was Andrew Craven and he went to be gamekeeper at Foremark Hall between 1885 and 1887 (i.e., after the last child born in Scotland and the first born in Foremark).  3 children were born in Foremark - Thomas (1887), John (1889) and Mary (1892).  Unfortunately, none of them was mentioned on the website as having been baptised there.  As they were all Church of Scotland, they may have gone to a Presbyterian church somewhere; I still have to check on that.  So, our ancestors may have known one another, eh?  I haven't found any Pounds in my lot so I am assuming that there was no inter-marrying of the 2 families!
Happy Hunting!
