Hi all

My name is Angie and, as you may or may not have seen, I am responsible for the Derby Gravestones website.

I have been studying my own family tree for a number of years and found that, when it came to burial info, I needed to travel. Not being a driver and having ancestors from far distant lands (Gloucestershire) this was frustrating for me.

Bearing this in mind I thought about all the folks out there trying to research their Derby family history (which is where I live now) and not being able to get here - hence Derby Gravestones was born.

This is something I have been planning for a number of years and within the last day or so, it was born. On the site you will find different Derby cemeteries and churchyards represented with lists of contents. These relate to the grave markers I have managed to photograph. If you find a relative or person of interest listed on my site, email me at info@derbygravestones.co.uk and I will email you back a picture and transcription of that grave. Remember to include the persons name, dates and which cemetery they are in.

I am constantly doing research so please keep checking for new names to be added.

PLEASE NOTE this is a hobby for me, I work full time so unfortunately I cannot fulfill individual photo requests.

Thank you for reading my intro

Hi Angie welcome to the forum

That's a great initiative - wish I had relatives from Derby now!
Welcome to the forum

Hi Angie
Great site you have there!
I am almost from Derby - my sister lives at Morley so I visit every now and then

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. This is my first website so I really appreciate your feedback! I'm looking forward to my first request

Welcome to you and your Website Angie, I am not far from you just over the boarder in Staffs, shame as apart from Gardener we never get Derby queries, have you tried the Derbyshire Rootsweb List?

Linell.

Yes, I've posted on Rootsweb too.

Its a great gift you have done and all for free. Well done you.
We never know where our ancestors may turn up and people from all places visit us on the forum. I have added your web site to our links list.
Thank you.
Jo

Thank you Jo, I really appreciate your support

Have you let your local archives know what you are doing too?
Or put a poster/info up there.

This is wonderful for me as some of my " Taylor " family moved to Derbyshire , and my 2nd Great Grandfather lived with his son in Litchurch ,and possibly died in Normanton .

Hi Dudley

if you email me the names and dates of your Derby Taylor's I can check what I have. I was at Stenson Road (Normanton) cemetery yesterday, so I have content that's not on the website yet. You can email me at derbygravestones@gmail.com.

Kind regards
