ThanksThank you for the link to the pictures of the gravestones for Rachel and James Kemp and for Florence Bessie Heald (ne Kemp. I would not have been able to get these myself so great work by your volunteers.
Very interestingI am delighted to be able to see the gravestones of my grandfather's family in England. He himself is buried in Ireland
david kemp Thanks very much for the enlarged photo of headstone. I now know that this is not the David Kemp that I am looking for. thank-you anyway
Skinner Street Chapel, Poole, Dorset, EnglandLooking for photos for my ancestors in England, records show they were buried at Skinner Street Independent? I'm tried looking up skiner street but cant really get an real answer on where this place is, much less even photos of my families graves. I know my line of Kemps are supposedly buried all over Dorset,Poole. But right now I'm looking for just this one family
George Kemp 8 Feb 1756-Jun 1845 , he was a deacon of the skinner street church for over 60 years
his wife Sarah Kemp 19 Mar 1763-22 Nov 1813,
So I'd like to find these two and anyother Kemps buried at this Skinner Street Church
This church in Skinner Street is still there as a United Reformed Church. But there is no graveyard associated with it-at least not now. Most non -conformist churches tended to use the local Private or Municipal Cemeteries. Poole actually has several Cemeteries I think the earliest was Poole Cemetery which is not fart from Skinner Street. The local Council should have a grave index -though they now tend to charge you for a search. I hope this helps.
KEMP/RUMPI have found this website so helpful in trying to trace my Family tree, Having no where to really start on my mothers side. Keep up the good work.
ThanksGreat free service especially useful when people don't live in the area where ancestors are buried.
Maria KempHello,
Thank you for sending me the photo of my g-g-g-grandmother Maria Kemp's gravestone which I am pleased to confirm is the right one. One comment I would like to make is that the date on the stone is 1873, not 1878 - I have her death certificate to confirm this. The death certificate does have some conflicting information - it says she died on Nov 25, not Nov 16 as it says on the stone. However, the certificate also says her husband was William but this is wrong - the name Thomas on the stone is right. Perhaps as the certificate was filled in by her son-in-law with whom she had been living explains the error.
Anyway, thanks again for your help.
Best regards,
Mike Brock
