My family all came from East Holywell, my grandmother (Annie) and husband Matt being the last I knew who lived there. I know Earsdon churchyard well (I was baptised and confirmed there) and would love to visit the above grave if I knew which area it was located in. Also very interested in family tree but haven't formally started mine yet, save for a rough one by one of my Aunts many years ago. Any links, information, trees and or names appreciated. Thanks Craig
