I have been informed that my 3 x ggran born mary Pope and then married Sampson Talluck
is buried in Padstow Cemetry and that the headstone is propped up against a wall??
Now this is from a contact on Ancestry.
We live in the midlands -- so Cornwall is not easily accesible..
and I just wondered if someone lived in or near Padstow.. they could take a wander?
her details are
Mary Pope 1782- 1836 died in Padstow....
she married Sampson Talluck in 1809 in St. Petrocs Church Padstow.
Not sure how many churches there are in Padstow.
Have checked Find a Grave ..
but still looking..
attaching a couple of bits of info.

ps lovely day for grave hunting.. and if I can reciprocate I surely will :)

Hello Xinia. I would be interested to hear the result of the information you have received. I have ancestors buried in Padstow cemetery and am descended from the Tallack (Retallick) family. Do you now know if the headstones of Mary Pope and/or Samuel Tallack (Talluck) are propped up against a wall in the cemetery? I live only 22 miles away and would go there to take a photograph.

Just remembered --- to answer your question properly sorry :(
(its the heat ha ha)
Many years a go now I had the best contact regarding the Hellyar family she was brilliant. However she suffered a stroke and I have not been able to be in contact with her now for some long time.. I miss her for who she was not just the darned Hellyars..
Anyway.. she was the one told me about the Headstones..
So not sure if they still are cos that was at least 5 years ago.
xin
wish I could come down and search with you...

Hi Zinia Padstow has a Churchyard and a separate Cemetery which opened in 1881. Your ancestor must have been buried in St Petroc's Churchyard. I am planning to start photographing both the cemetery and the Churchyard for Find A Grave shortly and will make a point of looking for your photograph.

Hi Zinia
Visited Padstow to have a preliminary look and take some photographs. My husband and I walked all arround the boundary wall of the Churchyard and I am sorry but Mary Pope is not there. I photographed all the Headstones along the wall and they are on FAG. There is only one name
un- seeable?? because the headstone faced away but it is so big and heavy that I doubt that the churchyard men would disturb it to look on the front. If you look on John Tredwen you will see what I mean. I will carry on after my holiday.
The cemetery is quite big I took some photos but it will need several visits.
Best wishes
Sandi P
