A headstone for James Greaves DYSON, d.1910, St Peter's, Harborne?
« on: Tuesday 20 February 18 10:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Everyone,
I was wondering whether there is anyone local to the area that includes St Peter's Church Harborne, Birmingham, who could have a look for me to see whether there is a headstone in the churchyard there for a James Greaves DYSON, who apparently was buried there in 1910, aged 66...
Many thanks,
Keith

Hello
I've not been to the church myself but the local History society does have a CD of monumental inscriptions of Harborne and he is on there.
So if you have no luck in the graveyard ,you could buy the Cd or Birmingham Library will have a book copy on the fourth floor in Archives.
ps the index on line doesn't give the details-I'm not being mean and not giving them to you.

Cider drinker,
Thanks so much for all that very helpful information, I'll get in contact with Birmingham Library...
