by the Hadnall & District History Group
This research represents the work of a group
of members of the Hadnall & District History Group. We would
like to take this opportunity to thank Rev Rob Haarhoff (vicar in
2007) and his parishioners for allowing us to do the recording. We
would also like to thank the Shropshire Family History Society for
their help. We have used their numbering system and added to it
where appropriate. A special "thank you" to Ian Dodds for making
the original interactive burials map.
Explanation
Originally, it was decided that the best
format for the accessibility of the data was to create an off-line
"website". The CD contains this "website" of links to all the
grave records we have been able to record - matching up text and
photographs. In addition, the data is available in spreadsheet
form so the records can be sorted by other researchers. We have
also included memorials from within and without the
church. A web version is available below - see
links. The growth in internet research is such that we have
abandoned the CD version - non were sought in any
case! However the internet site is kept up-to-date
(thanks to Dorothy Dodds and Nick Hall) and as such is the best
source of the data for the present.
It is hoped that these formats will be easy to keep updated with
additions and amendments. Any additional information will always
be welcomed.

No copyright of all the materials is claimed
by the Hadnall & District History Group, but we would
appreciate recognition where appropriate.
