HOSKINSMany grateful thanks for the gravestone Many grateful thanks for the gravestone image for John Robert Freeman. John's wife Emily (nee Hoskins), 1851-1940, was my 3rd cousin. The image also provided information about 4 of their children, which was an added bonus. This is a most useful resource. Carole.

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

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

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
