Looking for my greatgran's (now identified as Lizzie Dunn Hunt daughter of Thomas Dunn Hunt)grave in Heanor cemetery a few weeks ago I was obviously on a roll as I found her grandfather Nathaniel Hunt's as well as those of his brother Charles' family

They are located in the area behind the chapel at the first crossing of the small path to the Ilkeston road end (with the smelly yew trees and close to the garden of remembrance) - largish old stones. Now I've found them I vaguely remember my mum pointing them out once.

So here we go with Nathaniel's - on one stone
IHS
Henry
Second son of Nathaniel and Dorothy Hunt
Of Owlgrave Farm Shipley Derby
Who died (June?) 23 1883
Aged (22?) years
(illegible) passed (peacefully?) away

Also Dorothy wife of Nathaniel Hunt
Who died November 3rd 1888
Aged 67 years

Also Nathaniel Hunt
Died June 8th 1889
Aged 67 years
Thy will be done

On the adjacent stone is their daughter Dorothy Dunn Hunt and her husband Thomas Allen (see 1881 census where we got confused with the Nathaniels - I think he was double counted because he owned their farm which was subsequently passed to his son Isaac)

In loving remembrance of
Thomas
The beloved husband of
Dorothy Dunn Allen
Who died November 17th 1907
Aged 54 years
Also of Dorothy wife of the above
Who died December 4th 1908
Aged 53 years
“Rest after weariness”

The next stone is on its face unfortunately

but across the path are the ones relating to Charles, Nathaniel's brother, and his family and also for Samuel Hunt the one I think got Owlgrave Farm and an Ernest and an Elizabeth Cresswell who was Samuel's sister Elizabeth and my Great-gran's Lizzie's aunt

In loving memory of
Sarah
The beloved wife of Samuel Hunt
who died October 7th 1897
aged 33 years
“Thy will be done”
Also of the above Samuel Hunt
Who died April 5th 1905
Aged 46 years
Also Elizabeth
Beloved wife of Ernest Cresswell and sister of the above Samuel
Who died January 3rd 1922 aged 58 years
“He giveth his beloved sleep”

In Affectionate Remembrance of Eliza
the beloved wife of Charles Hunt
who died October 8th 1868 aged 41 years

Farewell dear husband and children sweet
I go my saviour God to meet
Oh turn your hearts to things above
And meet me in that world of love

Also of Eliza wife of Charles Hunt
who died March 11th 1877 aged 42 years
Also Charles Hunt who died April 6th 1898
aged 67 years

In memory of Charles
Son of Charles and Eliza Hunt
who died Aug 30th 1858
aged 3 years and 3 months
also Charles son of the above
who died Nov 27th 1863
aged 3 years and 4 months
also George son of the above
who died Dec (?) 1863 aged 1 year and 10 months
Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven

Also of Ernest Cresswell
(rest illegible as right at the bottom of the stone)

Sorry such a lot but a bit of a breakthrough for me
