Strensall Monumental Inscriptions
« on: Saturday 26 March 16 09:06 GMT (UK) »
If anyone has access to the monumental inscriptions for Strensall I would be very grateful for any information there may be on Hannah Foster who died in December 1844

Thank you

Hi Snowqueen,

I do not have the MIs unfortunately but I found this in The York Herald of Sat 7 Dec 1844:

Monday 2nd ....

... Same day at Haxby Grange in her 75 year Hannah Foster widow of the late Francis Foster.  She was 56 years a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Society. Her end was peace.

The BTs for Strensall confirm that the burial on 3 December was the same Hannah Foster.  Interestingly the previous entry was for George Foster of Haxby age 32 buried 22 Nov 1844.

Hope this helps.
