Thanks Sandy, got the e mail, and opened it ok.
Little Tosca is doing well, after his broken leg, and now can go swimming ! This dog has more fun then me now!

Not thought about Non Conformist Graves, being one myself LOL ! i should know this, but i didnt think there were any at the chapels? as i went to Mount Pleasant in Kettering Road. I have never seen a grave at all, just the odd mention of a person on a wall if they had done something for the church.

Sandy, I forgot to tell you what I was doing in Long Buckby churchyard on a sunday afternoon (besides avoiding the stinging nettles).
Alas, it was not an attempt to record all the inscriptions, just a search for any ancestor graves.

Hi Marilyn

Found your Boyes grave today will post in a moment.

What names are you researching in Long Buckby. Please do not say Muddimans!!! LOL.

Found alot of stinging nettles in St Sepulchre's besides 3 homeless people who use
the church arches and doorways to sleep in. How sad for a beautiful Church to be
used in this way. 

Got back ache trying to clear the graves so we could match Ian inscription's.
Went round the grave yard for 4 hours and still have a third to do. 
Although the good side is they will have been listed and photographs taken so 
they will have their place in history soon.

Some eldery ladies said how lovely it was to be able to see the stones now. Bless.

Cheers Sandy

Hi Ian

Glad to hear that Tosca is recovering.

Our cat Lizzie is 21 on April 11th (and she was the smallest of the litter).

Not many towns ( correct me any one if I am wrong please) have graves although if in
cemeteries you can notice by the wording ones that could be non-conformists graves.

A lot of small villages still have there grave yards attached to their churches
and it is this I have been listing sometimes.

Guess you are going to be busy for a while LOL.

Cheers Sandy

Hi Sandy
I think i will have to do a revised version of the transcript now !
as i have managed either to  put in dates or months and in some cases names ! i did note that Mayo should read Mayor

Now started on the Greenough lot (Your Fault) not an easy family to track !
But you got me going now with Thomas Greenough as he could be my 4X gt grandfather, i need to find the baptism of Francis Greenough
Keep up the good work Sandy You inspire us all !

HI Ian

That would be a good idea but do not forget to check for accuracy. LOL

Shame we could not find any graves (or did we).

I went into the pile by the wall and found some names and dates.

They were also some stones on the walkways (and footstones) so took those too.

Every one here (and elsewhere) inspires me too

Oh no!!! Why can't I research Muddimans? (Anyway, I already did!) And yes, I know there are a lot of them. I think all of the 19thc ones are descended from Barker Muddiman.

Yes, MUDDIMAN is one of my names, also HANWELL and EARL (they moved to Long Buckby from Welton)

Betsy MUDDIMAN born 1829 to Isaac Muddiman and Elizabeth SEWELL (or SEAWELL, who married in Rugby)
married
James HANWELL born 1829 to William Hanwell and Fanny EARL.

I have seen Stephen's transcriptions, also the LB prs.

Well Marilyn

Most people researching their families in Long Buckby relate into the Muddimans.

Well  I am sure if Stephen still watches this list he would agree I showed him how to
do it.!!!! (make his books that is)  many moons ago when we were both learners.

Obviously I can not help with anything as you already note you have seen the sources available.

I need an early night and tonight I mean to get one. LOL.

Here is your Ann Boyes gravestone.

Cheers Sandy
