Headstone photo request - Delves family
« on: Saturday 17 July 10 02:11 BST (UK) »
Silly me, I've posted a similar request in the Gravestones etc., Board, and only just thought to put a similar one here!  :-[  ::)

I wonder, ... if anyone is wandering churchyards/cemeteries around Hollington, Dallington, Catsfield, Waldron, or Worthing - actually, anywhere in Sussex!, - and happens to notice headstones for any of the Delves families (but pleeeeeeease not Delves-Broughton; they're the bane of my genealogical existence!) ... would you mind snapping some pics for me, please?

Impossible to do it for myself, as I'm in Australia, with no likelihood of travelling :'(

Humungous thanks, in anticipation,
Deb
