Hi Barry

I am afraid that there was only one that was half readable.

There are so many stones wih inscriptions that have worn with age.

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for the photo. I can read the following:
In affectionate remembrance of Elizabeth Brooks daughter of Richard and ............
who died April.................
Can you read any more on the original?
The only Elizabeth (b. 1823 Woodford Halse) on my tree was the daughter of John Brooks and Hannah Gardner - so not her.
Am I right in assuming the Elizabeth on the gravestone wasn't married? Otherwise I think it would have said 'wife of........ and daughter of ........
What age were other graves in the same area or does it not follow, in your experience, that this grave would be of the same era?
Regards
Barry

Hi Barry

I will try and answer with the knowledge I have gleaned whilst searching
many Church and Cemeteries in Northamptonshire and elsewhere.

I have seen that sometimes even if the person is an adult it would
name her parents also on her gravestone.

Brilliant it you do not already know it.

Wives are not always buried with husbands or nearby depending on
how much difference between deaths they are often in other parts of
church/grave yards.

All the stones around this Churchyard are mixed dates

I have sent you a P.M.

HTH.
