reg
 
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please.
I have just returned from Aston Parish Church , to try and find my husbands 2x Great grandfathers grave. I found the headstone but unfortunately
the stone was round the edge of the path and is partially buried. You can make out the name GEORGE WRAGG died 19 oct 1890 and then BETSY ANNE there are other names on but because they covered by the path you cannot see them. I have been told there might be monumental inscriptions of Aston Parish on Fiche no 1039 Pickards pink pages. Has anyone ever used this and what is it ? and would it tell me what was on headstone.
Sorry to ask these questions, but i know someone on website will probaly know.
Thanks
Sandra
 
Sandra I do know many graves were removed and houses built on them. My dad's family were dug up putting it mildly. I do know someone who was involved in this work and he told me some unsavory things that went on that shouldn't. I think this was about the time you lived by Bridie in Holte road?. You can try the church itself but I have never received a reply. Good luck. Jean.
 
Hi Wendy,
Thanks again for taking the time to look at my query.Have tried to get on website and its says error, so i will ask my son to look at it when he comes home.
Sandra.
 
All the best Sandra hope you find out more than I did?. Thanks for your message too. Jean another Holte roadian.

Hi LadyLinda.
Thanks for taking the time to look up the information for me,I think those Wraggs are on the tall monolith on the right hand side of the church, as yet I haven't found them to be related , but I will keep it on file. Its just frustrating that we can't see the rest of the names on the gravestone as kerb stones are put in front of the names.
Thanks again. Sandra
 
I have an obituary which states mt great grandfather Arthur Yates died 22 April 1895 and is buried at St Peter and St Pauls. I can't find him in the registers I have been to central library and scrolled through the indexes with no luck.
