Historial MaterialChurches provide an incredibly rich source of family data and as it is not always practical to travel great distances to check things for oneself this type of database is incredibly precious and useful. Thank you so much for providing this service.

Husband of ElizabethIf you read the inscription carefully you will note that the Thomas Potter mentioned comes from Manchester. This is indeed the case and he is mentioned in the context of the burial of his wife Elizabeth. He, himself, went on to live until 1845 and was buried with his second wife in Ardwick Cemetery - vault 498. The only other person buried in this grave is Lucy Potter the infant daughter of Thomas's brother, William. See my previous comment.

Thank you!Thank you so much for the photo you sent me of the John Mitchell / Mary Potter gravestone! It was very touching to see the old gravestone.
family tree helpMany thanks for the prompt response to the enlarged photograph of the Potter gravestone at Westleton, Sussex. We stayed in the village 2 days later and it gave us great help locating our great grandparents grave at St. Peters church.
