Hi all, just an update because my last post is now well out of date. My blog now lists the gravestones from 64 Durham cemeteries and churchyards. I give transcripts free of charge if they are not already indexed on the site but are listed. I'd love you to take a look.
Thanks.

Hello Hampan, I wonder if you could take a look at St Oswald's for a headstone for Thomas Byers buried 15 May 1811 and his wife Margery Byers Buried 13.4.1761. Thank you.

I am not doing too well. Could not find the "Search" button on their site. Some of the Parishes they have are unique to them. Ferryhill is one.

The search is here http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/search/master/ (found by googling)
However, it seems you have to be a subscriber to see the full record :-\

Hi and welcome,
It seems that Hampan has not been on rootschat since March 2013. You could always try putting a query on the Durham look up requests board and someone may be able to help you.

hi looking for a grave index for George Muir died 1854 Durham county hospital, possibly buried in St Margaret's of Antioch, Cross-gate Durham.
There won' be a grave stone, but maybe a map of the cemetery with the grave references ?
regards

Hi Not sure if this is the correct place but I am looking for any McGuinness (Maybe Peter, Edward, Janet) buried in Metal Bridge, any pointers would be helpful. Thanks.

I would like to know if my Great x 3 Grandfather has a gravestone if possible.
He died in 1858 and was buried at St Oswald's at Durham.
We went to visit the pub where he was once the proprietor (Half Moon Inn) in New Elvet a good while back. We also tried to find a gravestone but did not get time to check all the graves unfortunately.
I would really appreciate it if you could let me know if a memorial transcription does exist for him or not.
