Hi Peanut 15, I assume as you say that the headstone is in poor condition that you have visited Holy Trinity. If you haven't I only live up the road so if you need a photo I would be happy to oblige.

Hi dipseydiva, have not visited the church, but went on its website and a Martin fisher kindley supplied me with a transcript of the headstone plus pictures, it is of sandstone overgrown at the moment but the gardeners have yet to tidy it up. It's easy to find as its next to the church by the path.
I may call on you if as i believe there may be more of my relatives ther as in the same grave is a Mary A** Wood died 18something this might be his mum.
His daughter married a Charles Petford who i know is buried in a private grave at Handsworth old church again i believe more Petfords are interred there
