Hi All,

Thanks for all your input. It was a very sad time indeed for the Dinsdales, and I wonder if people crossed the street to avoid the Dobsons after the murders.

I had a look at the Dinsdale tree and it looks like the Louisa Dinsdale who died from the infected wound was the murdered Peter's daughter-in-law.

Alison, I'd be very grateful if you could take some photos for me, doesn't matter if it's not straight away. They've waited patiently for over 100 years - what's a few weeks?? Besides, there's nothing like a walk around an old cemetery on a nice sunny day! Let me know if you around to it and I'll send you my email address.

Thanks again,
Tracey.

Hi Tracey,
I have been to the cemetery.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be headstones on any of the graves except for Joseph and Mary. I checked every grave in the methodist section { thankfully it was the smallest section } and couldn't find any  :(
I did get a photo of J & M's grave and one of Peter Dinsdales if you are interested.
Regards
Alison
