Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Graveyard in front of Providence Chapel (URC) Ovenden, Halifax, Yorkshire

Many thanks, that's very helpful. I'll try contacting the Archives in Halifax initially. Looks like another visit to Halifax may be needed...
I'm still very interested to know what happened to the tombs - some looked quite substantial.

Thank you - when I visited I had a brief look but didn't see any...

Graveyards and Gravestones / Graveyard in front of Providence Chapel (URC) Ovenden, Halifax, Yorkshire

Does anyone know what happened to the tombstones that used to stand in front of Providence Chapel?
It is now laid to grass, but I have seen an old photo showing these stones.
Are there any records of what used to be there?

Yes, have tried all avenues in North Wales, but no joy!

Indeed she did - at St. Joseph's Colwyn Bay 4th August 1931. What I am hoping to establish is when and where she converted as she was not from a Catholic family...

Lancashire / Jane Lowe, Superintendent of Birkdale Palace Hotel 1882-1883

I am trying to uncover details of Jane Lowe's time as Superintendent. Is there any evidence that she may have converted to Roman Catholicism during her time in Southport? She was originally from Kincardineshire in Scotland, and later ran Hotels in Rhyl and Colwyn Bay. Is there any clue to her career history before the Palace Hotel - I suspect she may have been the housekeeper at the Ilkley Wells Hydro.

Mary was the daughter of Edwin Turner, dyer, of Dapper Mill who died in 1916.
As well as seeking a photo of Mary, I would also love to locate a photo of her mother Annis (nee Horner) who died in 1913. Maybe someone has a family group?
