Joshua Stafford--Family History is Never All Done, Part 3




A few more photos from our 2008 trip.
St. Thomas Church in Brampton, Derbyshire where Joshua Stafford and Eliza Dennis were married and where Ann Stafford was christened.  I got tingles walking around in this churchyard.

Dad and I in the Beckett Street Cemetery in Leeds.  Eliza Stafford and her baby are buried here in the same unmarked grave.  They are in a "guinea grave;"  it cost a guinea to bury them in the same grave as several other people who died that week.

Stafford Avenue in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.  Joshua Stafford and his ancestors were from Melton Mowbray.  Maybe they lived here?



Kippax Place in Leeds.  We couldn't find Kippax Mount, the address of Joshua's family from the census.  A vacant field stood where our GPS said it should be. All the homes in the neighborhood looked like this, so they probably lived in something similar.
