Interesting site. I quite like the idea of hanging around graveyards with a camera :-)
Might do a spot of volunteering.

Researching:
Siggs of Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and West London, Wise of North Hampshire, Wiltshire and North London and Aubrey/Whiting of South Wales/Herefordshire.

Whiff - not a good job in the rain as you might get to meet the ancestors!!!!!

Researching:
We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars, Oscar Wilde New avatar, my dad age about 3/4 months, could have been worse, it could have been the awful nude on a rug!!

Good site, thank you. I haven't found any of mine but there are loads of names on there

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

I got a response from the site, no-one else has requested the same photograph........but I didn't get the photograph. It's probably an automatic response, hoping I'll get the pic next week.

I used to see people taking photographs in cemeteries and thought they were ghouls.

Now I understand!

I'm a ghoul. ;-)

Love a good graveyard.

Somewhere quiet to sit and collect your thoughts, in an ever hectic world.

As a child when on hols at aunts me and cousins would love to play in the local churchyard. Never got into any trouble and got to know the groundsman.

It seems such a shame that today so many are just not looked after,.
