Corney/Godley

[spower]

I'm looking for a transcript of a gravestone located, until recently, in the churchyard at Ditchling. The grave is for Elizabeth Hards who, I believe, was previously Elizabeth Corney nee Elizabeth Godley born 1825 in Pyecombe. I think that she died in 1878 and at her death was married to her second husband Henry Hards of The Bull Public House. I had noted the grave on my first visit in 2009 but hadn't realized it's importance and when I returned recently to photograph and transcribe it properly it had disappeared. There's a lesson learned! I know that Taryn Jones had an interest in this family and there was some info on her website but I haven't been able to get in contact with her and she seems to have faded away. Does anybody have a transcript of this grave? Regards SP

Have you contacted Ditchling Museum to see if they have any Monumental Inscriptions?

Thanks Sillgen, good answer. I e-mailed them and they sent me the transcript. Thank you.

hi i have a sarah ann godley married to a john cook sussex her parents were johnand sarah any help?

Hi Waranga. There's a Sarah Ann Godley possibly (one of the options) marries John Cook in Brighton Q2 1837. There's also a Sarah Godley born Preston (Sussex) 10/01/1819 to John & Sarah Godley. I'm not sure if this is the same person, Sarah Ann Godleys are a bit thin on the ground before 1845. Do you have any more clues?

Hello! My name is Maureen Corney and I am Taryn's mother. We had done quite a lot of genealogy several years ago but then her university studies got in the way. However, we have lately gotten back into it.

The gravestone of Philip and Elizabeth is gone?? Oh no! They were my great great grandparents. We saw the grave in 2002 and took photos. It was still readable at that time. What a shame, perhaps it fell over.

I have a fair amount of information on the Corneys and Godleys, and lots on the Farncombes, thanks to the local history society there. We live in Canada.
