Re: The Graveyard Shift
James Simpson was only 48 when he died. I wonder what he died of.

Re: The Graveyard Shift
I'm not sure that I get the point of this thread. Maybe I am just being a bit slow today, my brain never works well in sub-zero temperatures. Would some kind person kindly explain. And while we are at it, why do all the memorial stones in the pictures appear to be laid on the ground, as though they have been knocked over?

Re: The Graveyard Shift
I put this on on behalf of tealeaf
two of the stones have been knocked over 1 is upright and its the tallest in there it was just becouse we went for a walk on friday and started out in the church yard well...... the stag was first port of call |

The sailors headstone lies flat. Note the date though....1919. Royal Naval action in 1919? Against who, and why? I'm surprised you did'nt pick up on that. The penninsula war veteran headsone may or may not have stood upright. However, it was probably the best preserved headstone in the Church Yard and I am not aware of a similar one in such condition in other churches within Hyndburn, so Mick took the piccy and we stuck it in. The reason some headstones do lie flat, especially in Church Kirk, is Health & Safety; there was a young girl killed while playing in there about 15 years ago when one of the large uprights went over, so many have now been laid flat, but not Simpson's, which is the first on the right as you go in the entrance. |

Re: The Graveyard Shift
This won't anwser your question willow but may add a degree of interest for some. I would agree that Able Seaman Eastwood most likely die of his wounds. Perhaps Andrew would have a little more information about this chap. All Rights are those belonging to Andrew Jackson...
"EASTWOOD, Able Seaman F., J/69111 (H.M.S. Bacchante, Royal Navy); s. of Mrs. Margaret Eastwood; d. 14th February 1919 (26); bd. Church (St. James) Churchyard. [3, 15]" http://www.btinternet.com/~a.jackson/church.htm |
Re: The Graveyard Shift
The military gravestone for dear old Fred says he was serving in HMS Bacchante when he died or it would not be on his gravestone.
It does not mention any Naval Action and could have been due to an accident onboard the ship or that he died of a disease. Any member of HM Forces is entitled to a Military Gravestone if he / she dies whilst serving. |
