It is a bonus when the Parish register gives a bit more information for example the original home of an ancestor who is marrying into their partners village or town or if the Bishops Transcripts give a bit more than the Register ie..
son of John My wifes family have slate,still readable Gravestones going back to the early 1700's and also Wills so we even know what furniture and in one case Ghost in the parlour they had! they were well to do Graziers..
My family were Agricultural labourers probably with a tied cottage for the length of their hire.
Does anyone reading this have Victorian or earlier ancestors that were Agricultural labourers,Miners,Railway workers etc,etc that do have Gravestones?On searching I notice a similar thread here..
