Hello Blue Spirit,
I was at the Rockland St. Peter graveyard recently.  I was mainly looking for 'Chill(e)y/Chill(e)ystone/Chillestone/Chilly, etc.,etc'., graves.  Many though, I know, were too poor to have gravestones.

As mentioned I have photographed all readable head stones in many of the church yds in the area, i seem to remember there is one Chilly/Chillystone ( which i may have already mentioned  ) in Rockland all Saints.
I have seen some some where else but cannot think where at the moment...
There are plenty of Drakes in all three grave yards..

Hello Blue Spirit
I rarely come to Roots Chat and only came here 'accidentally' today when I googled the name Chilleystone. One reference brought me straight to the 'Lydia Drake Chilleystone' thread here, but I didn't read all of it - so I have only just seen that two of your family names are BARKER and FINCHAM.
My g.g.g.grandmother was Frances Barker 1807-1869 (daughter of Jeremiah Barker & Frances Stearn).  She married James Chilly.  I am descended from their daughter Sarah.  Another of their daughters, Virtue Chillystone, married William Fincham.
'Chilly' was an abbreviation or nick-name for the variously spelt Chilleystone.
If you are interested I can tell you more - or, as I said earlier, you are welcome to view my Chillistone Family Tree on ancestry.co.uk.
