Dear Sandra, I just found this e-mail on the list. Please forgive me for contacting you directly - I'm not yet sure of the protocol of the list as I have only just subscribed. I notice you are transcribing gravestones from the Kirbymoorside area and wondered whether you provide this service for anybody i.e. would you be able to look up some details on my family? I'm not sure if you do this out of the goodness of your heart or you require payment and if so, I am willing to pay you for your services. I have been tracing part of my family tree in Kirbymoorside but now that I have relocated to Glasgow because of my husband's job my activities in North Yorkshire are slightly limited!!! I am tracing a part of the Coverdale family who were in Kirbymoorside in the 18th and 19th century. I start with William Coverdale (born July 1800 and married to Ann Hugill in Jan 1827). I believe they lived at Bog Hall (Hole?) and were yeoman farmers. They had multitudinous children (10 at least - makes you shudder doesn't it?- I have 2 and that's plenty!) and their eldest daughter Elizabeth was my great great great grandmother. She moved away and is probably not buried in Kirbymoorside but some of her siblings might be. Their names were Job, Jane Elizabeth, Hannah, Henry, John, William, Ann, Anne (so presumably one of the Ann's died in infancy) and Mary. Again, I presume that some of the girls wouldn't have been buried with that surname. I'd be delighted to get any information on William and Ann Coverdale and any other Coverdales mentioned in the graveyards - there were many of them and each generation seemed to have the same names! Dates of deaths and relationships would be very helpful in sorting out the Coverdale mystery I have before me! I guess you are probably inundated with requests of this nautre and I wouldn't like you to go to lots of trouble of my behalf. However, if you are willing to help I would be very grateful for any information you are able to give me. Many thanks.

I do not have Gillamoor monumental inscriptions, but I have just been sent an email from a lady who has just transcribed them. Here is her email address if you wanted to contact her. She might be able to help with Kirbymoorside churchyard as well. sandra@staithes.demon.co.uk I am sure I have come across the Coverdale before and I recolect seeing the name in old Fadmoor/Gillamoor records at North Yorkshire County Record Offices in Northallerton. I will have a look in my records and let you know. Thanks for your email.
