Thank you to all who sent information about Susannah (Susan) Girdlestone, I am very grateful. I will hopefully now find an MI if the headstone is still there. Susan and her daughter Cecilia (born 2.09.1852) seem to be uncertain of their surname. Both Susannah and Cecilia were Girdlestone on Cecilia's birth certificate but on Cecilia marriage certificate she is recorded as Waterfall. The Registrar having started writing Girdlestone but then crossed it out. I presume Susannah never married but if anyone knows of a marriage to Henry Girdlestone I would be pleased to know. Gwyneth

Hello Gwyneth, While I very much hope you you won't be disappointed, I feel the chances of there ever having been a memorial stone for its inscription to've been recorded are probably small. The two in the plot - a 77-year-old and an 82-er - were perhaps fortunate to've had sufficent to've bought their own grave in the first place. The likelihood of a [probably] unmarried Mary WATERFALL having sufficient funds behind her to be able to pay for a headstone as well are slight, ignoring the probable financial circumstances of Susannah/Susan :-( Gus ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gwyn" <[email protected]> To: "Warwick" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 5:49 PM Subject: Re: [WAR] Girdlestone > Thank you to all who sent information about Susannah (Susan) Girdlestone, > I am very grateful.
