Darlington St Cuthberts monumental inscriptions?

[Gen List Lass]

Recently in Darlington library I was looking at some photocopies of St Cuthberts MI's. Two copies had been made but each only ran halfway through the pages indicated in the name index. And of course the ones I wanted to look at were missing.

One was for " number 242 - the children of Jonathan SPARK" and the other for "number 385 - SPARK John"

I had already been into the graveyard of St Cuthberts and seen it had been rearranged since the MI's were done. Lots of gravestones seemed missing.

Has anyone seen a  complete copy of these MI's anywhere?

And the other is : Sacred to the memory of John Spark who departed this life Jan 16th 1842 aged 62 years.

Thank you very much Angel! That gives me something to get my teeth into, it is one of my major brickwalls, the SPARKs of Darlington.

What a lovely photo of your grandma!
