Hi everybody,
we are just back from England where we had a delightful holiday including a visit to the church of St. Mary on Paddington Green as well as Westminster City Archives (where the parish records of said church are held.)
In that church there is a gravestone in the wall next to the altar, reading as follows:
BENEATH
ARE DEPOSITED THE REMAINS
OF LADY CATHERINE GRAHAM
WIDOW OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM BART.
OF NETHERBY IN THE COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND
BORN 10. MARCH 1765 DIED 20. SEPTEMBER 1836
AGED 71
IN LIFE AND IN DEATH HER HOPES WERE FIXED BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND LOOKING UNTO JESUS
SHE SOUGHT THAT CROWN OF GLORY
WHICH THE LORD THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE
SHALL GIVE ON THAT DAY TO ALL THEM
WHO LOVE HIS APPEARING.
The burial is registered (Burials Parish of Paddington, Middlesex) as follows:
"The Right Hon. Lady Catherine, widow of Sir James Bart. of Netherby,
in the County of Cumberland
Abode: Bryanston Square, St. Marylebone,
Sept. 26th, 1836, aged 71"
Might be of interest to somebody.
(For myself, I found the monument for Capt. William Graham and his burial entry, too).
