Completed.onumental Inscriptions for Oswestry, Shropshire.
« on: Sunday 20 September 09 19:33 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Is there anyone who has access to Monumental Inscriptions for
Oswestry Cemetery in Shropshire please?

Gt Grandad's Gravestone is crumbling away because it's made of sandstone and any inscription that was on there has almost disappeared.

My only hope is that maybe there is a record of the inscription held somewhere.

Any help or advice would be welcome.

Cheers

Barbara.

Hi Barbara

I'm not aware of any MIs for Oswestry :-\

The Shropshire FHS do have burials but not the inscriptions  :(

Hi Gadget,

Thanks for your reply & the information.

It's disappointing that there are no MI's for Oswestry.

I did buy the SFHS Burials Index CD but Gt Grandad doesn't appear there either.

Oh Well

Cheers
