Lychgate at Downton ~ St Laurence Church

Lychgate at Downton ~ St Laurence Church
Along with my daughter and brother I have been tracing our ancestry on my mother's side of the family, which took us unexpectedly to Downton, Wiltshire. We wanted to make sure we were following the correct line so went grave hunting! We were very lucky to find a corner of the churchyard devoted to 'Gwyer' graves dating back to the late 1700's and they did indeed fit with what we had found out.

A lovely set of church yard images Rosalyn, I have never tried looking for relatives but I can see it could be addictive, I did find an uncle for an elderly lady I know she just knew that he had been killed in WW1, I think she bored everybody stiff when I gave her the information

Nice series Rosa, good to have traced some definitive ancestral proof; I have been researching mine and a few others, on and off for the past ten years, can absorb a lot of time!
