About two years ago I came across a copy of a document "Copy of Tombstones, Ryhope Old Church, before their removal in 1978 - adjoining C of E infant section of the Primary School' This also contains a plan of the headstones.. I am not sure of the background to this document being made other than that I believe that a car parking area was being created and some of the area was tarmacced. I made a transcription of the copy and having had another look at it the earliest burial is c1824 and the latest c1876. I can have a look through this for particular names, if this weill help.
