Cemetery & Churchyard Memorial Inscriptions
« on: Wednesday 22 June 16 16:04 BST (UK) »
For anyone interested I've (along with my wife  :)) transcribed memorial records for various cemeteries and churchyards over time, and rather than the work go to waste I thought I'd make them available for others to use....

At the minute I've put Billingborough Cemetery as well as Edenham Churchyard in Lincolnshire on our website and they can be accessed via the following link.

http://www.sanway-brownlock.com/memorial-inscriptions

This is all our own work so not restricted by any copyright other than our own.

Photos of each headstone are available as well if anyones interested.

Hope someone finds them of interest and I'll add others as and when I can

Regards

I don't think I've any relations buried in either Billingborough or Edenham, but there's still time for some distant cousins to be found, so thank you, BG.

I've just added ASLACKBY and RIPPINGALE cemeteries to the above link as well.

Hope they're of use to some.

What a wonderful gesture.  Good luck to you and your wife.   :D
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
