Monumental inscriptions for Middlesex and Sussex added to FindMyPast

Monumental inscriptions are the wording that is carved in stone onto gravestones, cenotaphs or memorials in parish churches and burial grounds. They often provide valuable clues to family historians with dates, full names, and often the details of other family members - including those buried in the same grave.

 

These new additions are from Hillingdon in Greater London. Discover birth years, death years, and places of burial. Each result will include a transcript that will reveal a combination of the deceased’s:

• birth year
• age at death
• death year
• burial place
• monument type
• dedication and inscription.

Many records will also include a description link that will direct you to a PDF document hosted on an external website that includes histories, images, and burial ground plans for the churches represented in this collection.

The transcripts in this collection have been provided by Hillingdon Family History Society, West Middlesex Family History Society, West Drayton & Northwood, Middlesex and cover the years from 1485 to 2014.
