Sorry I haven't replied before just returned from holiday. Many Thanks to Al for a list of Bruce graves most of which I recognise as my family. One or two I will have to investigate. I would be interested Angela if it would be possible to have a copy of the MI'S for these. I was told previously that there were no records of the MI'S? Many Thanks.
A Monumental Inscription is recorded from the Headstone/Gravestone by volunteers physically going round the churchyard. If no stone is present then there won't be an MI. These were recorded in sections and rows
Thanks Angela for your help it would seem then that as Tony says he could find no headstones for the Bruces they would not be on the list of MI' S. Would it be possible for you to check for me and if there are any Bruces I would order the download to read the inscriptions. Thanks in anticipation.
I paid and downloaded the Inscription Register tonight. Unfortunately none of my ancestors show up, despite being buried there according to records. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Hi
There are two downloads on genfair concerning St Thomas Brightside.
1.
Christ Church Pitsmoor 1850-1931, Holy Trinity Darnall 1846-1866, Holy Trinity Wicker 1859, St Lawrence Tinsley 1813-1901 and St Thomas Brightside 1854-1901 Burial Records
2.
St Thomas parish church Holywell Street Brightside Monumental Inscriptions
I suspect Elaine got the information from the burial records.
There may not be a grave stone for the grave, hence not showing up in the Monumental Inscriptions
Thank you everyone. I'm presuming the same for my 2x Great Great Uncle, Harold.
Harold died at 9 years old after he fell and hit his head, (May 1855). A year later his father George (my 3x Great Grandfather) joins him. What a shame there is no headstone.
