All Saints, Bracebridge, headstones

[Eilleen]

Hi all, I have started a new topic because it is bracebridge villiage , which is different to Bracebridge on the heath.
I have just spent a lovely afternoon in the grave yard takeing photo's of headstone's. I have not got time to list them all at the moment but here are a few, if you want a picture just say.
William Vernam, died 1892.
 Sarah Vernam,  died  1900.
 Alice  Vernam, died  1893, aged 19yrs.
 Emma  Robinson ne Vernam  , died 1911. there is more imfo on this name and more people .
 I think all of the above belong to Smudge 
Harry and Mary Jane Bogg, harry was born 1863.
 Frank and Lilly Herringshaw,  Frank was born 1877.
 John and Mary Ann Jones, John was born 1813.
John Henry Leachman, born 1857.
Lizzie Hill, 17yrs old, daughter of William and Elizabeth, died 1899.
that's all for now , will look at the other picture's later.

I never think of Bracebridge as being a village.  It's just "the church at the end of Brant Road".

Any sign of Samuel THOMPSON (c1737-1820) or wife Elizabeth (c1750-1824)?

Hi Geoff,  from the leaflet someone gave me at the church yesterday, it says in 1811,  there were 24 houses and a population of 153 adults,  this grew steadily until building work started on Newark road and the population got bigger in the late 1800's .
 Will look for your's when I next go, I missed the older headstone's because my camera ran out of life,   got to get off to work,

Hi Eilleen,
I wonder if you found any Mettam's in the graveyard, I would be very interested in any information if you did.
Thank you very much,
Kate.

Kate

The National Burial Index has over 1,000 burials at Bracebridge 1814-1900.  There is no METTAM in that time.

Thanks Geoff,
Thanks for that, it looks like Ann died at Bracebridge 19 Oct 1915 and I don't have a date of death for her husband Alfred.
Thanks anyway,
Kate.

Hi,

In reply to the Question about Alfred Mettam, I think you might be on about my Great Great Grandfather Alfred who ran the Plough Inn at Bracebridge and Married Annie Evison (my Great Great Grandmother).

Alfred Mettam died on the 15th of May 1930 and I have been to his grave which I believe is at North Hykeham. (I do have a photo somewhere).

If anyone has any info I would love to hear.

Christopher Mettam.
