"The Lord Gave and the Lord Taketh Away, Blessed by the Name of the Lord." Sharon: Where did you find it? Is this a straight quote from a gravestone you have come across in some churchyard or is it lifted from a list of MIs?(MIs are Monumental Inscriptions - ie gravestones, and those in most local churchyards and even a few cemeteries have been transcribed). Most of the transcripts are in either the NDFHS library or in Newcastle Central Library and many have been published by the NDFHS). I take it the bit about "interred in Killingworth churchyard" implies that the stone in question is NOT itself in Killingworth churchyard, but elsewhere. I take it that the "by" (should be "be") near the end was a typo, of the kind I often make myself! Geoff Nicholson
