HAMONDHerbert Henry HammondThank you very much for a great service. I remember taking flowers to my grandfather's grave in Swilland churchyard with my grandmother more than 50 years ago. I have lived in the North West for many years, but I have often thought about going back. We are in Suffolk for a few days now and I was looking for Swilland Church on the internet when I discovered the link to your site. Within seconds an image of my grandfather's gravestone appeared on the screen. Yesterday we went to Swilland Church and saw the actual gravestone. I am sure we wouldn't have found it without your service.

FOSBERYCorrection to GPR dataWith the help of a photographic image I was able to locate the grave in Gunton St Peters Churchyard. I could then establish that the first name on the website data sheet was spelled incorrectly. Instead of Georgina Emily Adeline Fosbery (1885 - 1974) it should be Georgiana Adeline Fosbery. Many thanks to Gravestone Photographic Resource. BS .... more

St Mary's DowneSteve Lockwood photographed memorials in St Mary's Churchyard Downe. I wonder if he is aware that there is a cemetery about 150 yards away in High Elms Road adjacent to the school. He may wish to return and photograph many of the memorials there.

DUNDEE-HOOPERThanksMany thanks for your photo of this headstone. Regards Stewart M-J.

27/04/20154974
DUNDEE-HOOPERupdateStewart Briscoe Dundee-Hooper was born 18 Sept 1893 in Torquay South Devon. His father was Harry Dundee-Hooper a solicitor in Torquay. His mother was Agnes Maria Stewart. It was a tragic accident that led to his death at the age of 22 on 15 Aug 1916 on Submarine E4 when she collided with her sister ship Sub E41. Both ships sank and there were 14 survivors, all from Sub E41. Both ships were salvaged, repaired and put back into service.

27/04/20154973
LEWISThanksThanks for the photo. I am researching Edward and Sarah Lewis, who were both convicts in Tasmania in 1840s-1850s. They actually had a child in Launceston in 1857, but the family subsequently went to NSW. In other family trees involving Edward Lewis I have seen confusion between families. The photo was helpful so I can map out what is my family and what is not.

INGHAMGreat web siteThank you very much to Charles and all the volunteers who make this web site possible. Thanks so much for the high quality images of the gravestone monument that you sent. Kind regards, Sue

YEOFeedbackDear Charles I think your website is excellent. I have used it many times and am very grateful to you for making it available. Unfortunately I cannot really help you as I live in France and am not sure whether there is any demand for photos of French graves. There are not many very old ones as the graves are re-used after 30 years unless they have been paid for in perpetuity or the person is famous. But thank you once again Kind Regards Rosemary

WILKINSONThanks!This is a great resource. Thanks so much for your time and efforts. By the way, I love the CATCHPA alternative!

MEADOWSclarityWhilst I appreciate the service offered and the work done by the volunteers I have found that most of the images I have requested have, in the main, been generally indecipherable and of little use as a record. The temporary removal of a vase of flowers obliterating text or the angle at which the photo was taken would make all the difference

BAILLIEFamily HistoryJust so pleased to find my grandparents grave on your site ( they are buried together). I live in Australia and came here when I was 3 so don't remember my Grandfather. I had never seen this headstone before but when I told my Mum I had found her parents headstone she told me she had never seen it either. She had gone looking for it while in Scotland years ago but never found it. She has just turned 80 and to now show her this, well it makes me sad and happy at the same time. Thanks for providing this service in helping all the people out there put the pieces of their family puzzle together. Regards Myra

BARNACLEThankyouGreetings from Australia. Thankyou for the images you sent.Not sure that I will ever get to the Holy Trinity Church Stratford On Avon to see the graves of my GGG Grandfather William Barnacle and my GG Grandfather Joseph Barnacle. My Great Grandfather Edward Barnacle migrated to Australia in January 1899.

ROBERTSElated!Just awe struck. I wish we had someone as dedicated as you in Ontario Canada. Your comprehensive web site has made research so much easier. I would like to pay it forward by offering my services to anyone that wishes a photo taken of a headstone in the southern part Ontario Canada. Many thanks

Thank you so much for the information, iThank you so much for the information, it has been very helpful. My relation has now begun to know a little of his father and is to visit the cemetery soon. I wish all Scottish records were as obtainable. Out of interest, we have been told that records for Comely Bank Cemetery Edinburgh were lost in a fire. Do you know of any group that may have this information? We would like to place a headstone but do not have details of all those who occupy the plot. Incidentally, I have tried three times to post a comment but each has been rejected with no links or however long the message. If this is happening often perhaps people are unable to show how grateful they are, which is a shame. Many thanks

WILLCOCKSAmazingly Helpful through this site I have found the grave of my great great great grandparents which is amazing, but the most amazing thing is to have found my 83 year old mum had an uncle who died aged 21 in 1915 in Flanders who she never even knew existed. She is thrilled that this man who gave his life for our country is now known about by family members and is named on the Totnes war memorial. Our grateful thanks

HANNANTGeorge HannantThank you for the image of this distant relation. I have been a volunteer for this resource for a long time. I find it karmic when I discover a headstone relating to my own family.
