Mike, I recently joined this mailing list and did not see the beginning of your burial list emails, so please excuse my questions. What is the source, and are these emails being archived so that I can review the earlier ones? Also, I want to make sure I understand all the information. My questions: Is, for example, Great Longstone the name of the town in Derby? Is, for example, Hassop or Longstone Magna, the name of the graveyard within Longstone? Thanks for your work.

Hi Winston I am sure Mike will reply in more detail but in brief All the previously posted burials will be found in the list archives To check all the archives of the many lists go to http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Select mailing lists from the top bar menu You can use the top search box to search all the lists archives at the same time or you can enter a lists name in the lower box and navigate to the list home page and search or browse the specific list from there For Derbysgen see http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/DERBYSGEN.html To check Mikes web site see the link at the foot of his posts <http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm> ------------------------- The burials in this post are for Great Longstone and where a place name follows the name it generally means they were "of" that place but not necessarily born there You will find many place names in England with the suffix Magna or Parva Most often in pairs fairly close to one another its just a way to denote which is the larger and which the smaller place of that same name Magna = Great or Major or Much Parva = Little, Lesser or Minor For example if you look at googlemaps for Great Longstone you will find a Great Longstone and close by a Little Longstone Previously these would be Longstone Magna and Longstone Parva These days Magna is often found as Great or Greater and Parva as Little Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06/12/2012 01:38, Winston Cochrane wrote: > Mike, > > I recently joined this mailing list and did not see the beginning of your > burial list emails, so please excuse my questions.

Every mail sent to the list is archived and you'll find them at: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/DERBYSGEN/ Mike has been transcribing Derbyshire CMBs for many years so don't restrict your search to a few months before you joined the list :)) > Also, I want to make sure I understand all the information. My questions: > Is, for example, Great Longstone the name of the town in Derby? It'll be the place, yes; the hamlet, village or town. Bear in mind that Derby is not just an abbreviation for Derbyshire, it's also the name of the county town. > Is, for example, Hassop or Longstone Magna, the name of the graveyard within > Longstone? No, that'll be the name of the place where the deceased was from. Not everyone was buried where they had lived either because there was no graveyard (or, later when the graveyards were full, no cemetery) or it was the deceased request to be buried elsewhere (their original home parish for instance) or it was too far and too expensive for the body to be transported back home. Although graveyard and cemetery are often used interchangeably, a graveyard is invariably used to refer to the burial ground around a church; whereas cemetery is the burial ground for all churches, chapels, faiths and religions as well as those with no such affiliations. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
