Hi Sheepish ,would be grateful if you would post any Stockdale info from Retford branch RO (near the Crimea cannon) on this site. I think this would help us all.

Hi all,

Have found a wedding photo of Dan walker and mary ellen stockdale. Will get my scanner sorted and get it uploaded when i can.

Will go and have a look for you titch, the stones are in a state though.

there are 11 Stockdale gravestones in EM churchyard. There may be others but a large amount of stones are totally unreadable and some have fallen on their faces. Some are fairly recent and so Iam not going to post up on the site, if you want copies get in touch and I can send you the pictures privately. The older ones are George Stockdale d 7th Oct 1889. And his wife Mary. Benjamin d Dec 18 1943 aged 83.And his wife Elizabeth. Charles Henry beloved son of George and Mary Stockdale, this one is very dirty and difficult to read. William Stockdale d feb 10 1976 aged 85 and his wife Jane.

Hi Red,

Will do. Am going to use snail mail to send photos to Titch and hopefully she will upload them. I need to get a new scanner and learn to use it! Anything specific anyone wants me to look for at Retford?

Firstly, get those email addresses off the postings before the moderators do it for you! I am surprised they have lasted this long, the purpose of the personal message is so we can avoid making our email addresses public to the whole world!
My main interests are in the death dates of Benjamin bc1750, together with the detail of his parents and his 9 children. I wonder whether East Markham has been included on the national burial index. Also exactly what is on the parish registers if copies are held at Retford sub record office.
According to the Phillimore Guide the Registers from 1561 to 1949 have been deposited at the record office, so it should be feasible to get back 140 years before the IGI which commences in 1703.
