Looking for James PALMER birth/death Melton Mowbray COMPLETED

[Mike from Leicester]

Greeting’s Blue Owl. ....... & Welcome to the Leicestershire Boards…..

I have had a bit of a dig around…….

A Better Baptism to get closer to your original post of looking for
A James Palmer born c 1791 in the Melton Mowbray Area :~

St: Peter’s Parish Church.
KIRBY BELLARS.
.
BAPTISMS ANNO DOMINI. :~ 1787.

James. Son of Edward & Elizabeth Palmer. ..Bapt. …28th. February.
 
Kirby Bellars being only 2.7 Miles south west of Melton.

Re:~ survival of a Headstone of aprox 161 years old.?
This will depend on :~
Type of Stone / Slate…….( Slate stood a better chance )
If the face of the stone faced all the bad weather conditions.

And the saddest one. …….
Seems most of the Churches now use outside contractors to keep the grass
Cut and tidy. ……..In doing so most Headstones are removed and propped up against the Church walls in order the mowers have a clear run… 
Therefore. …….
You still have no idea where the deceased person’s finial resting place was …….

Mike (& Diddy),
thanks both for your efforts. I reckon I'll get across to Melton at some stage and stop in at Kirby Bellars too.

However, and I'm not sure how this forum works, you can flag this as Completed.

Best Regards

Hi
 James Palmer and wife Frances     James died /buried Sept 5th 1850 Frances April 28th 1858
stones were in King Street Church Cemetery in Melton Mowbray and were read and recorded before St Marys Way went through the middle.
All stones now are round the edge of the site ,as it is a closed burial ground and roadwork took place.

Hope this helps only other Palmer stones which exist are two young boys in the churchyard whose parents came from Nottinghamshre
Hope this helps
best wishes
