Family tree. Believe he is my Great Uncle.Have been to St Cuthbert's but have not found that grave. Have you a location? I hope the Health & Safety fascists have not collapsed it. Many thanks.


Ross Price   06 Apr 2019 

My great great grandfather was Charles Price and his wife Sarah Price was Sarah Sherriff daughter of Thomas and Jane Sherriff of Burrington Herifordshire. I am going to England and like to find out some more history before I go. Ross Price
