| WINGATE | No images | Hi, I'm very sorry, but I'm just not receiving the required images. It may be that my protection system is not allowing them through, although I've not had any problems in the past. Anyway, perhaps they'd come through via my Hotmail address? If so, I'll try that later.
Kind regards,

| BREWSTER | Request for volunteer in Middleton, Manchester | Greetings,
I am looking for a volunteer to look for Brewster gravestones in St. Leonard's Parish Church (Middleton Rectory) near Middleton, Manchester. There may only be one or two of them.
Thank you in advance! | 02/01/2012 | 2180 |
| BREWSTER | Request for volunteer in Nottinghamshire | Greetings,
I am looking for a volunteer who would be willing to take photographs and information from Brewster graves or monuments in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire. From what I can gather, the most promising location is the church cemetery located near the intersection of Great North Road (A638) and Church Lane. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! | 02/01/2012 | 2179 |
| BREWSTER | Special Request for volunteer in Essex | Greetings,
In addition to several requests for grave stone photos in Essex and Suffolk I am submitting, I do have a special request. At one time, the Brewster family had built Wrentham Hall in Wrentham, Suffolk and commissioned a stained-glass or painted window to be built within the hall that displayed many generations of Brewster marriages. The window had, reportedly, 12 Coats of Arms upon it, information I gathered from an ancestor's journal from the 1800s.
Wrentham Hall was demolished at some point in the 1800s, and the family supposedly moved the window to Greenstead Hall (formerly Halstead Lodge) in Halstead, Essex. From what information I can glean, it seems that this hall is located on Church Road, appx. 0.7 km south from Colchester Road (A1124).
I was hoping to find a volunteer who would be so gracious as to find the hall and see if the window still exists. I would love to have a photograph of it, and any other information related to it. Should the volunteer need additional assistance locating the hall, I do have several old photographs of the residence. Feel free to email me at any time at awbrewster@cox.net. Thank you very much! | 02/01/2012 | 2178 |
| BREWSTER | Request for volunteers in Suffolk | Greetings,
I am looking for volunteers to collect photographs and information from Brewster grave stones in the following towns:
- Mutford (St. Andrew's Church)
- Rushmere (St. Michael's Church)
- Wrentham (St. Ncholas's Church)
In addition, I am looking for a photo of any buildings still remaining where my ancestor's home, Wrentham Hall, was. I believe it was torn down in the 1800s but even a photo of the lot would be nice. | 02/01/2012 | 2177 |

- Little Maplestead

- Bulmer
- Great Yeldham

I realize this is a lot of work, but photos from any of these cemeteries would be greatly appreciated and would be a great addition to my family research. I am particularly interested in Hedingham Castle, Halstead, and White Notley. Thank you very much for your consideration! | 02/01/2012 | 2176 |

| Unlisted grave | In front of the free-standing stone archway in the churchyard is a gravestone in patterned brick with the lettering "1895" at one end, "1915" at the other, and "RUTH" in the middle. This seems not to appear in your list. It seems to be connected with the archway, as the latter has the same sort of brick beneath it. Does anyone know who is buried here? | 23/10/2011 | 2000 | |

| WRIGLEY | Timothy Wrigley died 23 April 1841 | I believe our Timothy is buried amongst many T. Wrigleys in one of the 3 huge cemeteries attached to St. Chads, Uppermill, Yorkshire. I hope one day that your organisation will photograph this cemetery. In 2001 the local TIC sold me copies of transcriptions of 2 of the 3 cemeteries. The third had not yet been transcribed, but I hope this has been rectified by now. | 10/04/2011 | 1519 |
| OVERTON | Overton family links | I have been able to trace my father's side back a few generations. He was James Alan Overton, and his father was James Leonard Overton born 1880 in Grimsbury, Warkworth; and his father was James Haddon Overton born 1855 in Gayton, Norfolk; but his father was only James Overton, born about 1831 in Elsing, Norfolk - I THINK. He might be James Yaxley Overton, but he definitely married Martha Blogg. His father in turn may be another James Yaxley Overton. I have come across hints of this.
I am striving to be sure of this last one and find the connections further back. My father told me we are descended from Robert Overton (1609-1679), one of Cromwell's Generals, but I'd love to be able to make the link (or not).
My mother's side traces back to a John (Johannes) Johans (Dutch) who was born 9 April 1800, presumably in the Netherlands (maybe India), and died 15 Aug 1854 in India. I'd love to find any more details of his forebears!!
Any help is enormously appreciated.

| PALLISER | Palliser/Pallister Images | Firstly, I want to you very much for all the work that has been put into this project. I have found the Pallister family that you have put up but now I need help. Is it possibly to get images of the other Pallister/Palliser headstones in St. Peter's in Rawdon? I have a transcription of the Palliser Burials 1813-1956 at St. Peter's which I believe in the notes section it lists possibly the locations. If anyone is going there to take photos, could they contact me and I could possibly give them this information. I live in Canada and find it impossible to visit England to get these myself.
Thanks, Judy | 01/04/2011 | 1480 |
| SPINKS | Thank you | Thank you for the pics of the Spinks family I requested. If I could make another request from you, as I'm not sure if these are the right ancesters and need the info on the stones to see if that will help me any. Can you darken the lettering on the headstones so I may see what it says. I use a spray bottle of water or sometimes just dirt (then clean off) when I do my pics for others. Thanks a million for all that you are doing. Regards, Karen | 19/03/2011 | 1462 |
| BOLTON | St Chad's Uppermill Yorkshire | I was hoping it would be possible for someone to take some photos of the gravestones in St Chad's in Uppermill, Yorkshire. I have been told that the graveyard is very overgrown, so this may not be an easy task.
I have recently discovered that some of my family are buried there. The two I know of at this stage are Thomas Bolton buried May 1871 aged 49yrs and also Ann Bolton (his daughter) buried Nov 1858 aged 7yrs.
It is also possible that his wife may be buried there, but she had remarried and was known as Jane Sykes (born Buckley).
I live in Australia, so it's not possible for me to do this myself. I would appreciate any help. | 09/03/2011 | 1419 |

He would have worked as a furniture builder (Lyons) or like, in or around Sheffield England. I was born on September 30th, 1959 in Sheffield England to Mary Veronica Atkinson/Savage or Inman.

| FENNING | Fenning burials in Suffolk | I have been searching for headstone transcriptions in St. Martins, Nacton for James Fenning buried there on the 29th of November 1857, Elizabeth Rachel Fenning (nee Fish) aged 29 buried on the 27th of April 1803 and Charles Fennings (infant) buried on the 11th of August 1803, however there does not appear to be any reference to them on this website.
Is it possible that St. Martins has an older graveyard not yet referenced?
