VAGUE and JANE families Cornwall

[Elliebob]

Hi Elsie

I expect it will be at least next weekend before I can look - busy today and not enough daylight when I am at home during the week!

Nice sunny late autumn day here in Cornwall

Hi Ellen!

That's fine. Whenever you can find the time... no pressure

Cheers.

Sorry to tell you that the weather has been so bad - wind and rain - that I haven't had a chance to linger in the churchyard yet.

There is a memorial though to Ruth, widow of Samuel Vague alongside the path.

May be the Christmas holidays now before I get time.

Best wishes
Ellen

Hi Ellen! 

We could do with some of that rain. Our state is under siege with bushfires and drought.

No rush...as and when. I appreciate you keeping me on your radar screen.

Cheers

Hi Elsie

A window in the weather this afternoon allowed me to go and find the Vague graves - I think there are Janes too but didn't get those today.  The Vague inscriptions are:

"In loving memory of Ruth, dearly beloved wife of Samuel Vague of this parish who departed this life Mar 6th 1872 aged 44.  Her children arise up and call her blessed.  Proverbs 31.28"

"In loving memory of Samuel Vague of this parish who departed this life May 24th 1913 aged 86. "  (The scriptual passage at the end was illegible)

I will go and look for the Janes another time.
The Churchyard was looking lovely today with lots of early snowdrops.  It occured to me that you might like to see a pic of our church so have attached to this post.

Warm wishes
Ellen

Here are the pics my 9 year old grandaughter took this afternoon.  We went together, she took the photos and I transcribed!  I have now adjusted them a bit.  If you want the larger version pm your e-mail address and I can e-mail them to you. 
Best wishes

Hello Ellen!

As I type it is 41C in the shade!  

Thank you very much for your generousity of time to locate and transcribe this information on my JANE and VAGUE families. Your granddaughter's assistance is also appreciated. Please thank her for me.

It's amazing...though your efforts I feel a more tangible contact with my forebears. The information from the headstones is wonderful.

Thank you so very much for your kindness in helping me.

With a smile.  

Elsie
