    1. Re: New TV show in England called "Grave Detectives"
    2. I thought this would be interesting for someone looking for family in England. Who knows where it could lead? Grave Detectives Walk through any municipal cemetery in any town or city. You probably don't give it a second thought, but you are walking through history. You pause at a rather tired, lichen covered memorial and try to make out the inscription. You try to imagine whom this person was, what did he or she do? Why did they die? Who did they marry? These inscriptions only tell you the essentials. But if you bothered to undertake just a little bit of detective work... Grave Detectives is a pilot show for HTV West in which Broadcaster Chris Serle, teams up with Criminologist Professor David Wilson to do just that... They have just one day to discover as much as they can about a person buried in a municipal or church cemetery, as they trace his or her life from Grave to Cradle. The story will be about someone whose past wasn't exactly that of a pillar of the community. It will be about murder, intrigue and possibly the occult. It is planned that if successful, "Grave Detectives" will be made into a series in 2003. Grave Detectives - 1 x 25 mins for HTV West Producer/Director - Kate Jones-Davies. Commissioning Executive - Jane McCloskey. Here is the contact information, perhaps you might like to call them and let them know that we think the idea is great: http://www.rawcharm.tv/contact.htm Sincerely, Renee L.

    1. (no subject)
    2. Subj: [BIBLE-RECS] HUNTER Bible, Ontario, Quebec, 1833-1906 Date: 8/25/02 9:54:29 PM !!!First Boot!!! From:    aaf@ais.net (St. Claire Family) To:    BIBLE-RECORDS-L@rootsweb.com HUNTER Bible The English Version of the Polyglott Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,  Boston, Lincoln, Edmands & Co., and Pierce & Parker, 1833.  Hills #820 This Bible is in fair shape.  The binding is original and intact, and the pages suffer little to no foxing.  However, many pages are pulled loose from the binding and are out of order. I suspect many are missing altogether.  There are many pieces of 1880s (and thereabouts) ephemera scattered throughout the Bible, including tracts, choir papers, and some household hints. The newspaper clipping of Mary Jane's death indeed does contain the numerous typos as transcribed below. Transcribed by and in the possession of Tracy St. Claire, aaf@ais.net. Scans available at http://www.biblerecords.com SURNAMES: HUNTER HENDERSON CARRON -----------------TRANSCRIPT STARTS----------------- [Page One] Elizabeth Hunter  April 29th 1831   Feby 15th 1833 Elizabeth Mable Hunter  Jany 24th 1834 Mary Jane Hunter  April 21st 1836  March 15/06 [Page Two -- Marriages] Elizabeth Mable Hunter Married to James John Henderson June the 11th 1861 Mary Jane Hunter Married to James Carron April 15th 1857 [Page Three -- Deaths] Michael Hunter      Feby 22 1855 Mary Hunter  Jany 1  1851 [Page Four -- Clippings] February 1870 At Brockville, on Sunday the 20th inst., FLORENCE HUNTER, eldest daughter of James Carron, Esq., Town Councillor, aged eight years and four months. December 1869 At Brockville on the 14th, inst., of meazles, Michael Hunter, infant son of James Carron, Esq., [Page Five -- Clipping] March 15  --06 [handwritten] OBITUARY Mrs. Mary Jane Carron Death came with startling suddenness yesterday to Mrs. Mary J., relict of the late James Carron, the sad event being a shock to her many friends and a crushing blow to the surviving sons, Dr. F. B. Carron, of Brockville, and J.F.L. Carron of Montreal. Despite advanced years, Mrs. Carron enjoyed fairly good health, though she had been complaining for several months.  Her indisposition, however, was not sufficient to confine her to her room and each day she was about the house in her usual cheerful manner. Yesterday morning Mrs. Carron arose as usual, giving no indication of the approaching dissolution. About 10 o'clock while seated comfortably in a chair and chatting pleasantly to those in the room, she was unexpectedly stricken with apoplexy and immediately lapsed into unconsciousness in which condition she passed quietly to her long rest five hours later.  The deceased received prompt medical attendance but life slowly ebbed away despite all that medical skill and tender hands could do. As previously stated the announcement of Mrs. Carron's death created painful surpries from the fact that she had not been seriously ill. She was numbered with Brockville's oldest native-born citizens, her residence extending over a continuous period of nearly 70 years with the exptetion of one winter spent in Montreal following the death of her daughter, Miss Minnie Carron.  She was the daughter of the late Michael Hunter, a pioneer settler and strange to relate, Mrs. Carron died in the house on Perth street where she was born, married, and lived practically her whole life. The exact date of her birth was April 21, 1836. Her late husband died in 1872 since which time Mrs. Carron had been a widow.  She is the last member of the Hunter family, her parents, brothers and sisters having long since pre-deceased her. Mrs. Carron's family consisted of four daughters and three sons, but only two sons are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother, who was the object of their special care and love.  Deceased did not aspire to any social distinctions, preferring the quiet of her cozy home and studiously performing the duites of the head of the household.  Her honest worth, willing,  helpful ways, and unfailing kindness to all won her a place in the respect and esteem of a host of friends.  As a neighbor she was true and kind and her many acts of charity will live long after her.  Mrs. Carron was a devoted member of the Church of England. In the early days she was affiliated with St. Peter's; then became a member of Trinity, liberally contributing to its erection and support, and latterly a member of St. Paul's.  Te mourning sons have the depest sympathy of all in their bereavement.
