Hello all I wonder if you can help me. My ancestor Christopher Thomas WADSWORTH died 30 Apr 1870 (I hadn't noticed the date until I typed it!). His gravestone is in Wickersley, St Albans Churchyard: Sacred / to the memory of / John son of Christopher Thomas / of Elizabeth WADSWORTH / who departed this life / July 17th 1850 aged 9 months / This lovely bud so young and fair / Called hence in early doom / Just came to show how sweet a flower / In paradise would bloom / Also of the above named Elizabeth WADSWORTH / who died / July 1st 1859 aged 44 years / Also of the said Christopher WADSWORTH / who died April 30th 1870 aged 59 years. I have just bought the burial index from Rotherham family history society for St Albans and although both infant John and Elizabeth WADSWORTH appear on the burial index Christopher Thomas WADSWORTH doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be? Of course if you would like a look up on the St Albans Wickersley Burial index please let me know too. Its 1813 to 1966.

Hello Ruth, I'm sorry I can't help with your enquiry about the WADSWORTH grave, but wonder if you will be kind enough (when you have time) to look on the St Albans index for my grandfather, Thomas Patching, who was buried there in 1933, along with his son Henry age 23 and daughter Gladys age 19. I live in the area so have seen the grave, but thought there might be more information in the burial index than I have. It's a long shot, I know, and I hope you don't mind. In return, my mother, born in 1908, is still alive and lived most of her life in Wickersley and Bramley, so if you need any "first hand information" of a more recent nature, let me know and I'll ask her.
