Title: Matthew and William Thomas
Post by: staplehouse on Saturday 28 June 14 09:55 BST (UK)

last week had a relation take photos at Zennor Churchyard and found these two gravestones, I am
wanting to find out who their spouse or parents where. as I have so many William and Matthew Thomas in my family tree and none are of these ones as yet
Matthew Thomas died 11 October 1891 Carnelloe Farm Zennor
William Thomas died 25 Feb 1840 Kerrowe Farm Zennor
these are what is written on the headstone
