Thus it would seem that your John FAWCETT may have been buried in Brompton or Snainton. As he was an Ag Lab there may be no stone for him but you can find out by purchasing copies of the MI booklets for the two places from the EYFHS. See their web site. Just for the record here are a couple of census records : 1841 censusHo107-1260-4 Carr Lanes, Snainton John FAWCETT 65 Ag Lab Dinah do 25 Frances do 23 Benj'm do 10 (all born in YKS) 1851 census Ho107-2368 Folio 695 Snainton, Brompton John FAWCETT Head Widr 75 Farm Labourer YKS Danby Dinah do Daur Un 34 Dressmaker YKS Snainton Mary GIBSON Daur Mar 29 House Keeper YKS do John GIBSON Grandson 6 Scholar YKS Snainton Re Snainton from Wikipedeo George Vasey the botanist was born in the village.
