Graveyards and Gravestones / Willey Churchyard, Shropshire Morris Dancer
« on: Monday 04 April 16 16:56 BST (UK)  »
There is an 18th century record of a very elderly lady morris dancer who had a tombstone in Willey churchyard. Her name was Margery Brider. Anyone in that area know if it still exists?

Thanks for the information Diddy,
My particular focus is folk songs in Lincolnshire. I am looking at all those who have collected/researched the subject or collected songs in the county. I'm still hoping to find what actually brought Cecil Sharp to Bourne, his only recorded visit to Lincolnshire, on the 25th April 1911.

Thanks Diddy, that's very interesting. Does it say where the 1909 "annual gathering" was held, and what society was being referred to?

Thanks Geoff-E. Although a lot has been written about him, details such as this are rather lacking, and this is a useful addition to the overall picture.

Cecil J. Sharp was the best-known collector of English folksongs. He did most of his work in Somerset, but visited Lincolnshire on 25 April 1911. I am trying to find out why he was there. Possibly he was a judge at a musical festival, possibly he was there with a morris-dance team. If your search might cover that date and location, that would be great.

Can anyone tell me which local newspapers would be circulating in Bourne, Lincolnshire in 1911?

Hi

Isabella Hay Munro (ms Urquhart) died 24 Sep 1894, two years after being run over by a horse and cart, from which she never fully recovered. I have no trace of the Munros after that.

Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Lawrence Longside Cemetery

I have a reference to a "fine memorial stone" erected to the memory of James Lawrence and his wife Janet Hay (latter died 17 Nov 1848) in Longside Parish Churchyard. Can anyone tell me if it's still there and possible transcribe and/or photograph it for me?
