Hello Bob: I never heard back from you regarding your kind offer to pursue a possible picture of a gravestone (if it exists).  I was not sure if that meant it did not exist or that you have not had an opportunity to go to the Southam Road Cemetery.  Below is my initial query on the BAN message list.  I was just wondering if I hit a dead end with the cemetery having a stone or not. By the way, I recently went on the google street view and 'wandered' around Banbury.  What a delightful place.  I hope one day to get over to the UK and hopefully include Banbury on my list of places to visit.  It looks wonderful. Kind Regards Cathy I was wondering if a website exists containing pictures of tombstones in the Southam Road Cemetery.  I contacted Banbury Town Council which provided me with the Grave number 3190 but beyond that I'm not sure what my next step is.  I'm trying to find information on Emma and John Ratley.  She apparently was buried January 1922 and John in May 1877.  Does anyone know if I might find a picture of their stone somewhere?   --- On Tue, 10/20/09, Bob Sangster <ukbsan1@talktalk.net> wrote: From: Bob Sangster <ukbsan1@talktalk.net> Subject: Re: [BAN] Tombstone pictures of Southam Road Cemetery To: eng-banbury-area@rootsweb.com Received: Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 1:25 PM Hello Cathy, ? Firstly, welcome to the list, we tend to have quiet periods on this list, and on occasions go 'off topic' on a humorous subject. But I digest, back to your question. I have just had a quick look in the main Banbury church burial registers, but they only go up to 1920, so that is the first brick wall. As I have most, (if not all) that is available for Banbury, if you would 'post' any other details you may have for this couple, I will see what I can possible find. As to pictures of grave stones-no, BUT, in saying that, as you have?acquired the plot number, I can pop down and take a photograph for you in the near future. That is presuming there is a gravestone present. ? Please 'post' what you know so far, and fingers crossed, further information could be found for you.??? Enjoy Life. Never promise, but will always try.
