Brown family of Edvin Loach

[familyresearch]

Hello,

I recently visited Edvin Loach Church and saw a lovely gravestone from 1722. It is of Abel Brown?, son of Richard and Holladine who died when he was 5 years old on 18th June 1722. His mother Holladine is buried next to him, and she died when she was 36. If anyone has managed to research their family back to this time in history and thinks there may be a link please get in touch, and I'd be happy to send you a photograph of the grave. It stood out because it was an old grave, and I hadn't even heard of the name Hollandine before. It was quite a large gravstone, with a bit of a crest/picture at the top, so many the family were quite well-off.

Thank you Allan! I don't know quite when Hollandina died, that part was worn away, but she obviously could have left two other children. There wasn't any obvious other grave next to them but there was a stone on the ground so maybe that was for someone else in the family.

I've attached the photograph so anyone can have a look. I like the inscriptions at the bottom of both the gravestones.
