Mrs. Elizabeth Marmion - Tombstone Tuesday

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
&
"HOWDeeeeeeeee"

Died 18 January, 1865

Elizabeth Barclay Evans Brown,
wife of Henry Marmion of The Island, co. Cork, Ireland.

Born in 1812 she was almost 53 years old. She & Henry had 5 children I know of, surviving to adults. Henry went on to remarry and have more children. Philip Marmion, a lovely gentleman in Surrey, who I correspond with, is descended from this 2nd family. Henry was his Grandfather.

Elizabeth was born to not yet Rev., John Brown & Elizabeth Barclay Evans. When Elizabeth was born, her mother died shortly after on 19 June, 1812. She was buried at St. Anne's Church gravyard in Dublin.
Unfortunately the gravyard was paved over and no tombstones survive, the Church tells me. I was hoping to have a photo of her stone, alas!

Her father Rev. John Brown, went on to marry again to Anna McCartney in 1815. She also a Scriven descendant. Anna will be mother to little baby Elizabeth until she marries Henry Marmion, 23 years later. Then Anna dies in 1839. Living to 1 year after she sees Elizabeth wed.
John married a 3rd time to Margaret Simpson and will have more children with her.
Rev. John Brown, father of Mrs. Elizabeth Marmion, is buried at his church, St. Mary's, Leicester, England.

Photo above of Rev. John Brown hangs in his Church St. Mary's. I am indebted to the lovely Mrs. Virginia Wright, Historical advisor, for sending me this & several items about the Church.

Dr. William Barclay Brown Scriven, brother of Jane

Yes, buried down in this whole story it comes to GGgreatgrandma Jane

Dr. Scriven named for;
William - his Grandfather William Scriven
Barclay - GreatGrandmother Elizabeth Barclay
Brown - Uncle in Law Rev. John Brown

Yeah! Lots of names get confusing, but if you can follow any of this - good on you!

Hope to find little Elizabeth's grave in France one day and photo it for my collection.

HOWDEE,

Different photo I received for the Marmion stone.
You can clearly read that Henry Richard is buried at Tullough, but his stone is lost to mother nature now.
How amazing to find so much information carved and how well it has lasted thru the years.

This from a wonderful volunteer William Casey in County Cork, Ireland. Bless his kindness and his transcription of the stone.

In Memory of your grandparents.

May they rest in peace

Henry Richard Marmion married Elizabeth Barclay Brown ( 1st cousin to Jane's husband - Edward Evans )
After Elizabeth died in 1865, Henry Richard Marmion married Grace, had more children & that is who are on the stone. Their line continues down to this day.

The Barclay name comes down from our Quaker ancestor, Robert Barclay 'The Apologist'. Jane's own middle name - Bury - comes down from the Barclay line too.

MARMION - Tombstone Tuesday

.

Howdeeeee!

A wonderful surprise today when I received this tombstone photo from my penpal, Bill Fahy of County Cork, Ireland.

Jane's father-in-law Reverend Edward Evans, had 1 natural sister - Elizabeth Barclay Evans who married Rev. John Brown. Jane was also a 1st cousin of Elizabeth ( thru their Scriven lines ). Elizabeth died very young, just after her only daughter was born & also named Elizabeth.

Elizabeth married Henry Richard Marmion.

This is the tombstone of Richard Walter Evans Marmion and family. His parents were Henry Richard Marmion & Elizabeth Barclay Evans Brown.

I've worked a few years trying to find this family stone. Bill has been such a kind person sending me information from his side of the Atlantic and making suggestions. I'm glad to say I've read & seen many interesting things from lovely people I've corresponded with. But we had pretty much decided that mother nature had reclaimed it. Probably even was aging into the ocean at a seaside cemetery.

This photo just came online this month of August 2010 !

I wrote to Mary to thank her for her posting, and she so kindly sent me more photos of the Creagh cemetery & Church. A lovely lady that has taken a LOT of cemetery photos.

And now I have a copy. Here it is at last, the stone I had read about and couldn't find. Boom! So much is being submitted by wonderful volunteers. More and more every day at so many various sites, & for so many varied subjects. Never stop checking a site, like a closed book on the shelf when your done reading it. Keep a list on the side to remind yourself to go back and check - even if only once a year for new things. Say "HI". Make it easy for others to spot you and help. Don't expect people to search back thru the past years of entries and spot you.

I've written to some entries I had nothing to contribute, but to ask them since they are local people for their advice. Especially when it's a site overseas like in Ireland, England, Scotland ...
All have answered my ignorant questions so nicely. AND made several suggestions that led me to treasure.

Happy Trails, Katiebird
