St Mary, Thirsk
« on: Monday 19 December 16 14:41 GMT (UK) »
If anybody has access to the Monumental Inscriptions for St Mary, Thirsk I would be very grateful for the details on the headstone of Jane Holroyd who died in 1894 aged 87.

Thank you

Some useful information in this one:

Erected in memory of Mary HOLROYD youngest daughter of John and Jane HOLROYD of Thirsk who died 28 July 1863 in 19th year of her age. (2 line text, not transcribed) In loving memory of Jane mother of the above who died at Settle 18 July 1894 aged 87 years interred at the parish church Giggleswick. (2 line text)

Taken from the Cleveland FHS transcript, but I have expanded the standard abbreviations used in the publication.
