Hello, I'm hoping to find monumental inscriptions, or even newspaper death notices, in three Yorkshire towns - Darlington, Middlesbrough and Ripon. The deaths were all between 1930-1955, so may more likely be in a public cemetery, rather than a churchyard and I don't know whether any transcribing of these has been done. Googling around has brought no great success, except for a possibility in Darlington, which I will be pursuing. The Ripon Family History site is offline altogether at present. So, I'm asking if people can give me suggestions/instructions/addresses or whatever, please, as to where I can enquire. Yes, I could purchase the death registrations, although others I have bought have proved very expensive, as they contain so little information, apart from the confirmation of date of death. I have the names and the GRO references and have also found some of the names in the Tees Valley website, that is all at present. While I would really prefer to do the work for myself, if anyone offers to search for me, I won't say no!

Hi Ailsa, I have no knowledge of the Ripon area. For Darlington, the local newspapers are "The Darlington and Stockton Times" published weekly and the "Northern Echo" published daily. For Middlesbrough, the local newspaper is the "Evening Gazette" published daily. Using www.google.co.uk with the following search terms: Middlesbrough Evening Gazette Darlington Stockton Times ...gave lots of good hits including ones that took me to contact names, addresses, phone numbers etc. regards, Peter Appleton My Family Tree website: http:/www.tribalpages.com/tribes/pappleton3 -----Original Message----- From: Ailsa Petrie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 January 2006 01:15 To: [email protected] Subject: [NYorks] M.I. help, please Hello, I'm hoping to find monumental inscriptions, or even newspaper death notices, in three Yorkshire towns - Darlington, Middlesbrough and Ripon.

Hi Ailsa, My brain's not fully in gear yet (it is still before breakfast over here in UK). I should also have mentioned the Cleveland Family History Society who publish booklets of MIs for the area.

Ailsa, The Darlington Cemetary burials have been indexed in a way. They are in sets, by year, then alphabetic letter, e.g., all 'a's together but NOT indexed thereafter. So it's a search for each year, not easy but possible. If you have names AND year of death I would have a go. The library has been closed for refurbishment since about end Nov and is due to open soon, but not sure when.
