Mary Whitby

I got a very detailed reply from Peter Reed of Ewell History who, in addition to other interesting stuff, sent me the details of what is written on Mary Whitby's grave.


The Earthly Remains of
Mary
The Beloved Wife
of Thomas Whitby Esqr
Deputy of Vintry
Died February 1820
aged 37
also
Thomas John Whtby
Son of the above
Died Dec 1826 aged 26


I also got a reply from Kerry Whitby who asked if I was related to Louise. Odd. How could she know? Presumably she's thinking of a different Louise. I look forward to finding out.

Graveyards

I was reading the Whitby family book of old wills and in the front page if mentions a Mary Whitby who died in 1820. The only Mary Whitby currently in tree is Mary Whitby (nee Toombs) but it can't be her as she died after 1883. It says that Mary Whitby (d.aft.1820) was buried in Ewell Churchyard, Surrey. I called them up and they've kindly said they'll post some details.
