Crick Parish Council appeals for help tracing families
Crick Parish Council is appealing for help to trace the families and descendants of people buried in St Margaret’s Churchyard, Crick, after 39 memorials were identified as requiring urgent attention following a memorial safety inspection.
The Parish Council is carrying out extensive searches in an attempt to locate relatives or descendants connected with the affected memorials.
Some of the memorials date back many years, which means tracing present-day family members is proving difficult. The Council is therefore asking anyone with historic family connections to Crick, or anyone who recognises any of the names below, to get in touch.
The names currently being researched include:
Samuel Cummings, John Masters, James Masters, Ann Pike, James Pike, Rosie Smith, William Pace, John Cooper, Ann Cooper, George Cooper, Catherine Towers, Martin Hectford, Clara Linsbury;
George Smith, John Hall, Richard Thornton, James Black Grey, Colin Grey, Mary Robinson, James Gilbert, Mary Ann Pace, Lydia Bartlett, Norah Annie Adnitt, Raymond Simms, Harriet Elizabeth Cateson;
John Thomas, Frederick Charles Badham, Miriam Cleaver and Tom Crofts.
The Council would particularly like to hear from anyone who may be a descendant, knows of surviving family members, or has information that could help establish a family connection.
Even if you are unsure whether you are directly related, any information could help with the search.
Anyone who can assist is asked to contact Crick Parish Council at:
