Crisane, thank you, this is the family who I am looking for. Harold Rowarth was killed at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. 
I believe Emma’s husband Elias Rowarth died aged 36 in 1896 at Coombe Farm, Bakewell.  Your information has filled in some gaps for me.

Thank you Gardener for your information.
On Samuel’s grave it states he died aged 70 yrs in 1851 so I presumed he died in 1781, just one year out.
Robert and Elizabeth Wright are buried in the adjoining grave.
Was there a church at Edale in 1748 when Robert was Christened?


Edale was a chapel of ease in the parish of Castleton. Until the present church was built it implies here
