Hello Adam
Could you please let me have the details of the Snowden MI(s).

TIA
Sue

[Adamand]

Hello Sue.
I have 2 Snowden gravestone inscriptions but they are of a late date.
One 1951 with the person aged 70 years
And one 1990 with the person aged 80 years.
I do not post these later date inscriptions but you can have the details if you think they are of use to you.

Hi Adam,
it's not the couple I was thinking of as he died in 1894 & she was 70 in 1901.

However, checking my records I've found another branch of the family was in Wolsingham in 1901, it's possible that the MIs refer to this branch so I would be interested in further details, thank you.
