St Michaels Churchyard, Wragby, Monumental Inscriptions
« on: Wednesday 29 November 23 07:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Does anyone have a list of the Monumental Inscriptions for St Michael's Churchyard, Wragby?

If so can you please tell me if there are any entries for the surname RUSBY

If no-one can help with this, you can buy a list of MIs from Pontefract FHS.

Otherwise, Wragby appears to be fairly well covered by the Gravestone Photos website. They list a number of Rusby memorials, but I don't know how complete this is. More details at:

Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

I've found four Rusby burials on FindMyPast. (Thomas, Sarah, William and Tabitha) You have to enter Wragby Yorkshire otherwise it seems to go to Wragby Lincs. I have a lot of Blackburn ancestors from Wragby Yorks, had great difficulty finding them on FindMyPast until I realised that.

Although buried in Wragby church according to parish records, none of my early Blackburns have gravestones as far as I can see from the various grave finding websites, probably just had a wooden cross to mark it which rotted away long ago. I couldn't find any either when I went there last year.

Well that explains why I couldn't find any Rusby burials on FindMyPast - looking in the wrong county.
