Hi all, just an update because my last post is now well out of date.  My blog now lists the gravestones from 64 Durham cemeteries and churchyards.  I give transcripts free of charge if they are not already indexed on the site but are listed.  I'd love you to take a look.
Thanks.

Hello Hampan, I wonder if you could take a look at St Oswald's for a headstone for Thomas Byers buried 15 May 1811 and his wife Margery Byers Buried 13.4.1761.  Thank you.

I am not doing too well. Could not find the "Search" button on their site. Some of the Parishes they have are unique to them. Ferryhill is one.

The search is here http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/search/master/  (found by googling)

However, it seems you have to be a subscriber to see the full record  :-\

Hi Hampan

When I follow the link, it is to a subscription site. Do you have another url to access the records?

Hi and welcome,
It seems that Hampan has not been on rootschat since March 2013. You could always try putting a query on the Durham look up requests board and someone may be able to help you.
