| PARKER | Thank You | A wonderful service for family historians | 03/08/2012 | 2732 |
| We can all do something to help | After receiving a few pictures of graves of distant relatives I decided to be come a volunteer
in my local area and its become a very interesting hobby lots of Badly Decaying Gravestones and very modern gravestones not so much of a use now but I look at it as a foundation for the future people in 50- 100 years time look back and think I'm glad they took those pictures oh so long ago when they were new.
So all I am asking is for you to spend a summers afternoon in the local grave yard snapping away | 02/08/2012 | 2731 | |

| I see that an individual request is now | I see that an individual request is now asked for regarding each image to view. I feel that if they were all available to anyone, that it would be a much more useful thing, as the spelling of surnames is a bit ideosycnratic, and the person doing the name research may have a different spelling to that which you have been able to extract from the stone itself. Is there any intention to go public with all images, at all?
Thanks

| PAYNE | East Grinstead Sussex headstone - PAYNE LYNN | I was very pleased with your fast response to my request for a photo of Cicely Lynn's family Headstone at the St Swithun Cemetery,
East Grinstead, Sussex England.
I am researching the family of Richard Payne Lynn and his wife Emma Simpson, they raised a family in Lambeth Surrey, but I believe Richard a Builder may have been born in Sussex.

| STOLLERY | As these older gravestones become illegible with weathering it is great to see the details recorded for posterity
Perhaps I am lucky that Suffolk is well covered by this project. | 17/06/2012 | 2650 | |
| DELF | Excellent Service | I am new to ancestry reasearch and gound this a very useful site with the most efficient service I have come across. Emailed request on a saturday night and I had the image the next day superb. | 17/06/2012 | 2647 |
| TOMLIN | TOMLIN and GARDINER | Many thanks for sending me the image of the gravestone of Gibbon GARDINER, his wife and 2 daughters. I believe the gravestone does actually say Mary Elizabeth 'TOMLIN'. This lady was my ancestor and was born Mary Elizabeth GARDINER. Although the gravestone is recorded as being at St Mary's RC Church, the burials were at St Mary's Chatham which was the parish church and therefore Church of England. | 16/06/2012 | 2644 |

| SCOTT | Scotts from Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, Scotland - Thank you! | My name is Alexander Andrew Ronaldson Scott and I'm a direct descendant of Thomas Scott and his wife Janet Johnstone/Scott from Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, Scotland and other Scott kin of the Glasgow / Lanarkshire and Blantrye area. Thomas lived most of his life in Stonehouse, a village of mostly hand loom weavers of the period around 1800. Thomas is mentioned in Robert Naismith’s book: Stonehouse: Historical and Traditional 1885. Thomas Scott and Janet Johnstone are buried in the old kirkyard in Stonehouse and I shall soon make a pilgrimage there to rededicate the family headstone. I have been researching very passionately since 2001; working to publish a book using over 200 historical documents to back up what used to be only, with little exception, family tradition. A quick rundown on my Scott side looks like this: 1. Thomas Scott, carpenter of Bellshill (born approximately 1745) 2. Thomas Scott (Thomas of Bellshill’s son) married Janet Johnstone (they had 8 children)Thomas Jr, Marion Scott/Shearer, William Scott, John Scott, Janet Scott, Margaret Scott/Naismith, Janet Elliot Scott and Andrew Scott. 3. Andrew Scott (married twice) First Marriage to Elizabeth Osborne/Scott in 1848. (they had 4 children. Thomas Scott, Agnes Scott/Brown, Mary Scott/McDonald, Janet Scott who died age 3. Andrew’s 2nd marriage was to Helen Ronaldson/Scott in 1862. (they had 2 children. Alexander Scott, and Janet Polson Scott who, too, died young at age 7). 4. Alexander Scott (Andrew’s son) married Mary McChesney/Scott in 1892. (they had 3 children and the entire family moved from Scotland to Canada and then into Michigan of the USA. The children were Andrew Scott, Alexander Scott jr, Helen “Nellie” Scott). 5. Andrew Scott (son of Alexander) married Alice Cock/Scott in 1923. Andrew is my paternal great grandfather. I hope this information is helpful for anyone looking for Scotts of Lanarkshire Scotland and is an aid to beginners for simple research tips in general. Google is amazing with patience and a little luck. I would like to note that my research would not have been possible without the care and preservation by past/present family members and new found friends of our family. Andrew’s brother and sister both made their own pilgrimage to Stonehouse in 1954 gathering what information they could without the use of modern technology/internet. Mr. John Young - Stonehouse historian, Heather Ibbotson of Ontario Canada, Reverend Andrew Jamieson Scott-Branagan of Australia, Scotlandspeople.gov.uk for the use of their endless catalogs of Scottish historical documents, and of course my own Mother and Father who have encouraged and aided in my studies. Mom's side = Setla, Dashkevicz, Bochnia, Scioma. Dad's side = Chiefly Scott. But also includes Van Wagoner, Gierman, Lang, Kelleghan, Cock, McChesney, Johnstone, Osborne, Ronaldson, Naismith, Shearer, Polson, Thomson, Walker, Jamieson, Branagan, Pionk, Tillman, Kessel, Brown, Caldwell, Johnston, and McDonald. I can go on and on. After all, “our ancestors had minds much less confused than ours." Yours aye, -Alexander Scott | 07/06/2012 | 2620 |

| COATES | Bainbridge grave photo - COATES/DINSDALE OF NORTH YORKS | Thank you Charles for the grave photo of the Bainbridge family of Marrick Abbey. It's great to see some physical evidence of all my online research! | 29/05/2012 | 2602 |
| HARE-GILL | Elizabeth Hare-Gill | The entry for Elizabeth Hare-Gill contains the following note.
Elizabeth Nee Garth born in Thornthwaite Cum Padside...Daughter of John Garth and Susannah Skaife.John Garth was a farmer.
I think that Elizabeth Garth was actually the daughter of John Garth's first wife, Dinah Holmes. They married in 1874 and Dinah died in 1880. Dinah was the daughter of William Hilmes and Susanna Lister of Timble Great. | 29/05/2012 | 2604 |
| TAYLOR | TAYLOR, FROOM | Thank you to all involved in constructing and maintaining this valuable resourse. As you can probably deduce from my email address I am located a long way away from the UK and this resourse will enable me to visualize and experience my ancestor's final resting places. | 29/05/2012 | 2601 |
| ARMSTRONG | Thankyou very much | Many thanks for sending the crystal clear grave image so quickly. Your grave information has helped me solved a puzzle with my research. Thankyou for the time you spent helping me, and for keeping this wonderful service free of charge. All the best from Sydney, Australia. | 29/05/2012 | 2603 |
| DOWSON | Thank you very much Charles | Thank you very much indeed Charles for sending me the image of my maternal Great great Grandparents Margaret and Robert Dowson's headstone and the surprise added image you sent of their youngest son William Dowson birth year 1885 and his wife Annie(nee Showler)birth year 1884,
I have also since discovered William and Annie's baby son William birth year 1921 was also burried there on 27 January 1922 he was age 10 months, he died 24 January. Annie was in the very early stages of pregnancy when her husband William died, I found this so sad that she lost both her loved ones in such a short time of each other.
Also Margaret Dowson's birth year was 1854 and Robert Dowson birth year was 1853 he died May 15th 1943 aged 90 years, and not 1947 as stated,
As I have side before this is a fantastic useful & very resourceful service that you have so kindly provided along with your team of volunteers it's a brilliant website.
It has been a great help to me as I live in France and am not able to visit the cemetery myself. I regularly visit your website now as I am still researching the many branches of my family and I am always hopeful of finding images of my families members monuments.
Thank you once again and my thanks for images you have already provided.
(Please accept my sincere apologies for getting you name wrong in a previous comment I put on your website)
With Kind Regards
