West Witton - St. Bartholomew's - COMPLETED

[Pinetree]

Does anyone ever visit St. Bartholomew's in West Witton and if so could they possibly check out the details of a particular headstone for me?

I visited West Witton about 2 years ago and took photographs of some family headstones.  One of the photographs is of a group of three headstones, at the time I only thought the middle one was of interest but I have since discovered that the one to the right also belongs to my family  .  Although I can make out the names from my photograph I can not decipher the dates and ages at death.

The headstone is that of Richard Hawkswell buried 24 May 1811 and his wife Susanna buried 30 April 1801.  I got the burial dates from FFHS site but no age at death was given there.  The headstone is next to that of William and Elizabeth Jackson (Richard and Susanna were Elizabeth's parents but I did not know this when I took the photograph).

If anyone could help I would be very very grateful    I can provide a photograph of the headstone which should help to quickly identify it.

Try putting this request on the Upper Dales family history group.   They are very active and I know that some live very close to West Witton.

I go about twice a year but will not be there again until October.
There is a lot online too.

Andrea,

Thank you for the advice - I'll give it a go.

I'm gradually learning the lesson that groups of graves often belong to members of the same family.  I'll photograph them all from now on just in case!
