Hi, Looking for some information on a memorial to my 4xggrandfather who was a paymaster at the Royal Navy Dockyards and died in 1811 as a result of a unspecified accident at the age of 38. I recently received a family tree from a distant cousin that had a notation and I quote "monument to his memory standing in burying ground, 1877 and 1900 Kingston church burying ground Portsea" I have contacted a chap at the Portsmouth Memorials web site and he told me that he was not aware of any existing memorial, and that The Kingston Church would have been St. Mary,s on Fratton Road and that all the headstones and monuments were cleared out in the 1960,s, and goes on to say that the graveyard was closed to new burials in the 1850,s when the Kingston Cemetery was established half a mile from the church. This notation was put on this tree in the 1940,s and the person is now deceased, and have no idea of the dates 1877 and 1900, perhaps a member of the family put up a memorial, or the navy had. I wondered what happened to the stones when the cemetery was cleared out? and if this accident involved other persons at the dockyard in 1811. I wonder if there was any news in the local papers at that time . I would appreciate it if anyone had any idea, as to where I could find out any more information on this memorial or accident. I know it is almost two hundred years ago now, but would be interesting to find out. Many thanks, Kindest regards, Charles Windsor
