POTTERHusband of ElizabethIf you read the inscription carefully you will note that the Thomas Potter mentioned comes from Manchester. This is indeed the case and he is mentioned in the context of the burial of his wife Elizabeth. He, himself, went on to live until 1845 and was buried with his second wife in Ardwick Cemetery - vault 498. The only other person buried in this grave is Lucy Potter the infant daughter of Thomas's brother, William. See my previous comment.

RARITYWrong RarityToday I requested an image, but misread the details of the William Rarity on the grave.That William Rarity could well be a relative, since MY William Rarity was also born in Kirkliston. But my gg Grandfathers were born in 1824 and 1855.Regards Doreen Greenhalgh

WINCHESTERWilliam Albert WinchesterFirstly, my apologies for the delay in thanking you for the image. As you may know, family history research goes in fits and starts (at least it does with me). I had intended to thank you as soon as the image arrived, but I stored it for later use and then promptly forgot about it. For anyone else researching the Winchesters, William Albert was/is a distant relative from Bristol.

BINNSGravestone at FEWSTON, Yorkshire - BINNS/HOLMES/HODGSONThank you Charles for your fast service that my mother Ilma received. My mom is in her 80's and we came across your site while we were researching our family. I noticed that the link you send in your emails is not "live" meaning you can't just click on it and it takes you to the photo. I had to email my mom and tell her how to copy and paste the info. into her browser. Anyway, it worked. My mom is lives in Yorkshire and I am in Canada so between us we did okay! Again, thank you for your hard work. Jan

KNIGHTSThankyou for your dedicated workHi Charles Thank you very much for sending the requested gravestone monument images for Elijah Knights, Mary Selina Knights (James Knights), Samuel Knights and Maria Knights. These images will verify names and dates within the family tree. Thank you for the link to the find family Knights names. I will not request any photos until I am definate that they are ancestors. This website is of great importance to people like myself who is researching family members. I live in Australia, but have a couple of distant cousins who I am in contact with in England who is also researching the family tree. I hope to visit the churchyards when I next visit England. Furthermore, thank your dedicated volunteers who have put in the time and effort so that we can have access to these important monumental images. Arlene Hunt
