Where can a person write to find monumental inscriptions for Goodnestone near Sandwich.  Esther Morris died in 1862.  The cemetery headstones were so weathered when we visited there that I could read nothing for that time period and could find no one in the village who knew where there were any such records.   Thank you, Reenee

Hallo Are you sure she had a headstone? It was often more than a family could afford. -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/

I would never assume that a family could not afford a stone, but would always do as she is doing and try to find transcriptions when older stones are difficult to read. We have found stones from as early as 1762 and even an obit of sorts back as far as 1822. Finding transcriptions helped us to know what was on the parts of the stones that we couldn't read.

Reenee, You could try the Council as they have a website.  This is the page that covers most genealogy things. https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Goodnestone_%28near_Sandwich%29,_Kent Possibly there is no one looking after it but see if you can find a friends of group. Often a local gets to see these in the right light and can read bits.  RootsChat (it is free to join) would most likely put you in contact with such a person. Good luck. Irene.    ----- Original Message ----- From: reenee_tree@yahoo.com kent-eng@rootsweb.com To:"kent-eng@rootsweb.com" Cc: Sent:Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:23:06 -0700 (PDT) Subject:[KENT-ENG] Monumental inscriptions Where can a person write to find monumental inscriptions for Goodnestone near Sandwich.  Esther Morris died in 1862.  The cemetery headstones were so weathered when we visited there that I could read nothing for that time period and could find no one in the village who knew where there were any such records.   Thank you, Reenee   snip ------------------------- Email sent using Optus Webmail
