Individual Note 2

9th January 2011 - Caroline Church, New Zealand:

 

a) I have just come across your site and one name study.

My local cemetery is the burial place of Alonzo Pennyfather, died 10 Feb, 1887 aged 19. I see you have his burial recorded, but no birth. His headstone includes the information that he was originally from Waltham Cross, Herts, and according to the cemetery website, he was a coach builder.

I am compiling a collection of headstone photos and would be happy to send you copies if you are interested.
