Birstall St Peter lookup
« on: Tuesday 31 January 17 15:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi, if anyone is doing a gravestone search at St Peters, Birstall, any chance of looking up a grave inscription for me please.
MARY ANN BARNES, Buried November 21, 1925
I am particularly interested if there are anyone else mentioned on the headstone.
Any help would be most welcome.
Thank you so much.

If you Google Monumental Inscriptions St Peters Birstall, then click on Yorkshire Indexers Gallery, scroll down the St Peters, Birstall and Steve Miller has taken over 200 photographs of headstones at St Peters so you may find what you are looking for there.
