Did you put flowers on a Portbury gravestone?
published by RosieW on Tue, 03/12/2024 - 14:56

This is a very long shot and I hope it is OK to post.

My sister and I have for many years maintained the gravestone of our matenal grandparents in Portbury churchyard. 

We have also maintained the gravestone of our maternal grandfather's brother and his wife, which is next but one to our grandparents.  We have maintained this second gravestone as we have always known there are no close relatives until......

........suddenly a few weeks ago two bunches of flowers (seemingly quite purposefully placed) appeared on the gravestone of our grandfather's brother.  We are at a loss to know who placed them there.  Are there relatives out there working on their family history and came to find the grave?

Appealing here I know is a long shot but have you placed flowers on Auntie Jessie and Uncle George's grave?

If you  are you a distant relative my sister and I would love to hear from you. 

The full names are below .....so fingers crossed

Our grandparents are Charles and Lillie White

The gravestone we are interested in is for George Henry and Jessie Ada White who died in 1947 and 1953 respectively.

Thankyou for reading.
