Message: Emoticon Listing HTML Help	[quote]I've just had a 'phone call from a very helpful man at Amber Valley Council, in response to my emailed enquiry. Apparently he sent a couple of men over to Heanor to view the actual gravestone. They reported that it seemed quite old and was "leaning over" somewhat. It could be that my photo made it look more recent than it really is, but I still can't imagine the poor mining family having the wherewithal to buy it at that time. He made another interesting observation that whoever bought the stone would also have to have purchased the grave. It seems that no records exist which would help answer my query. Back to the drawing board:-) P[/quote]
