METCALFHelpful photosThis site was very helpful and it is gratifying to see the actual gravestone of my ancestor. Living in Canada, it is not viable for me to go to the graveyards in England to do this research. I truly appreciate the volunteers who have spent so much of their time making it easier of others to track the details of their ancestors' final resting place. Many thanks, Rosemary P

RITCHIEThe Reverend David Ritchie 1762 to 1844 Being able to view the Gravestone of the Reverend Ritchie will no doubt help no end in a linked search. I am also very impressed at the speed in which my request has been processed. There is so much more to looking at an old or ancient monumental description. I have in the past found it to be a kind of trigger and on one occasion at least when I found that there was no marker at all in a cemetery the unexpected happened. The ancestor at that time wasn't even one of mine, just someone that I had been asked to help find in Australia by someone else in England. Within the week that ancestor's grand-daughter walked into our office and in only a few moments I not only learned who she was but every vital detail about her grand-father. Two months later the grand-daughter was able to call on and see her long lost cousin in Yorkshire. Never give up, Malcolm Hutton

A Great ResourceWhat a great resource. As the sole administrator of a free-to-use website myself I know just how much work can be required to keep the site up to date and to respond to queries in a timely manner.

Thank you!Thank you so much for your extremely fast response to my request. Living in the US it was not practical to visit England to get a photo of the grave and it means a lot to have it.

O'DONNELL Thank you!Thank you so much for providing this service. The photo of Michael and Ellen O'Donnell's headstone at St Declan's parish, Ardmore was a huge find for me. I have a photo of family standing next to it in the early 1900's, but there was no info regarding location. Puzzle solved! Thank you again

TOWNCaptain Charles Aubrey Town MCMy Royal British Legion's Poppy Shop's Passchendaele 100 Poppy Lapel Pin is dedicated to Captain Charles Aubrey Town MC who was killed in action. The photograph of his memorial has proved invaluable in providing information to assist my research into him and his family in honour of his sacrifice. Thank you for providing this amazing resource.

REDDReddThank you very much for the photo of Mary Jane Besley's grave at St Decumans Church, Watchet, Somerset. She is my first cousin, 3 times removed. The grave also lists my great great great aunt, Mary and her husband John Besley. Two of their other children (also my distant cousins) are listed on the same gravestone. This has helped me confirm dates of death and ages. Many thanks.

WEBSTERCopyright Hi Charles Thanks very much for the efforts in establishing the gravestone photographic system I have just one comment to make in regards copyright restrictions that you have attached to the photos. Some years ago I used to subscribe to an obscure magazine called Traction and Models. That magazine had a motto that lives with me to this very day 'information is of no use unless it is shared with others'. I would like you to think about this motto and reflect on your decision to apply copyright to the photos in your system. Regards Jim .... more

BISHOPBISHOPs in DevonMany thanks for providing such a wonderful resource and for my latest find, the grave of Stanley Bishop and his daughter Wendy Jane Avril Vincent (nee Bishop), distant cousins of my wife.

AVERYThank you,With sincere thanks for the photograph of the gravestone of William and Ann Avery. Another clue as I research their story. Their son Richard migrated to Australia with his wife Martha in the late 1840'sm so it means a great deal to have that connection between my family in Australia and Richard's parents in England.

GOOCHThank you Thank you for your very prompt email and link to the gravestone picture for Esther And Edwin George Fry. I have quite an insight start into my mothers family tree but very very little on my Dads side and sadly no-one to ask now so this is just the start. The fact that I only knew him as George Fry and not Edwin George Fry certainly helps! Much appreciated

MAYESJames Mayes - RattlesdenThanks for your prompt reply. It helps my young grandson who now lives in Australia with his family background. Next time he is in the UK I will take him to Rattlesden as James Mayes is his GGGGrandfather. I know the family lived in the Woolpit/Rattleden area and married into the Bird family through my Grandmother, Blanche Amelia whose husband (Oliver) and father both travelled to Australia in their early years before returning to Suffolk.

Invaluable resource for family tree researchThis website is an invaluable resource for furthering your family tree with the information that the headstone can give you. Often highlighting members of the family that are not recorded on the census.

22/07/20178083
BISHOPThe larger image solved a problem.Thank you so much for sending the link to the picture of Thomas Bishop's grave in Beeston Regis churchyard. I have been researching him because he was one of the fishermen drowned in the Great Storm of 1807, along with five others including my 3 x gt. grandfather, Richard Little. I don't think he was related to me, though. The website wrongly lists his age at death as 88, whereas he was actually 33, so I thought this was the grave of a different Thomas Bishop, but with the larger picture I can see that it was not. Thank you for helping me to clear that up!

JARVISThank you!Just want to say how much I appreciate the work everyone has put in to this site. It makes armchair research so much easier.

BRIMILCOMBEThank youMany thanks for your work and help.

17/07/20178049
WOODThank youThank you for the photograph showing two generations of John Wood in Kirkby Malzeard. Fairly sure that these are ancestors of my wife but difficult to be certain since Baptism records only show the father and Wood is an extremely popular surname in the area.

17/07/20178048
SAWFORDThanksMany thanks for your very prompt and detailed reply to my request. I discovered the Gravestone Photographic Resource via an early enquiry into a Sawford relative on Ancestry, and have since learned that he died in 1891, and not 1957 as the gentleman in the photo. However, I am very grateful to learn of the work you do, and hope to return again in the future.
