    THANKS FOR THE NEWSLETTER

    I am such a lucky person! I followed the link in your weekly e-newsletter to read more about the Church of England burial grounds, and was amazed and delighted to find that one of the first two burial grounds to be scanned is All Hallows at Kirkburton. My Carter ancestors came from there.

    The first grave I looked for was that of Edwin Carter, my great great grandfather. The photos are very clear, the map will greatly assist me when I have an opportunity to visit, and I will spend the next few days gleaning as much as I can from the details on the website.

    It’s times like this that make your emails such a wonderful thing. Thanks!

    Mags, by email
