Hi HL,
Many thanks for that - I have a pic, already (thanks to another RC-er) of the stone over Rev. William Delves' grave, inside the church at Catsfield ... but wasn't aware that there were other burials there.
I've been trying to figure out whether he was married twice ... there are some records indicating his first wife was Elizabeth, but I have yet to find out where they married, and when she died. William married again 16/5/1820 to Mary Susan Bedingfield, and they had a daughter, Mary, in 1822 ... but then William died on the 4/5/1823. It looks like those names might include William's siblings &/or parents, which is great, because I don't have them as yet ...
I do, however, have a John Delves, b. 1819 and baptised in Wartling, son of John Delves Sr and his wife Mary/May Thorpe, ... I'd love to find the connection between John and Rev. William - apart from the coincidence that Rev. William married the parents of the girls who would become John's future two wives!
HI Deb, I just came upon this thread and was wondering if you could send me a copy of the picture of the headstone for the William DELVES (of Catsfield) who died in 1823. I am researching his 2nd wife Mary Susan BEDNGFIELD as well. Any info you can share would be most appreciated.
