Gravestone Photo
« on: Wednesday 18 August 10 08:30 BST (UK) »
I am hoping that some kind person might be going to St. Marys Churchyard in Cheshunt and if so, would be able to take a photo of my ggggrandfather's gravestone.  I believe he is buried in St. Marys.  He was born in 1789 and died in 1831.  His name was John Robinson and was married to Sarah.

I am trying to determine the names of his parents whom I have sought without any success.

John Robinson was born, married and died in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.

I am very grateful to anyone who can help

Best wishes

Hi diana
Have you seen the two entries on' pilot search'?
There is an entry for John Robinson's death 14 Oct 1831 at Cheshunt which is presumably what you have for your ggggrandfather - says residence Cheshunt St.
The other is for a birth of a John Robinson ch 17 July 1791 at Cheshunt of John Robinson and Diana. Could well be him, but you'd need further proof of course.
I looked very quickly for the marriage of John and Sarah, and John and Diana, but couldn't see them. Maybe you have longer to have a more detailed search.
Happy hunting!

Thanks for your reply.
My ggggrandfather was John Robinson born 1789-1831.  He married Sarah.  After he died she married William Tarry.  Sarah died in 1855.  They ALL lived in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.  The son of John and Sarah Robinson was James Robinson, my gggrandfather.
John Robinson b. 1791and Diana Wooley, are NOT my family.
I have had no luck in locating the parents of John Robinson b. 1789-1831.  Its important I do and I shall keep searching and searching.
