Thanks David, I'm hoping some of these will fill gaps for me, my family emigrated to New Zealand between 1861-1871, they were Thomas & Martha Stapleton, Thomas is the son of Samuel and Hannah Stapleton who were born 1801-1802. From here in Australia it is proving a little of a challenge, it starting with looking for my grand father Frank Stapleton, still looking for him, I believe he came to Australia after WWII. Thanks again. Delwyn

That's interesting David. Not to me, but a friend who has the name Stapleton in her family. I'm going to check them out with her and see if there is a connection. Many thanks.

Are you local to Nottingham then? Basford has been closed for quite a time for burials and I rather think it must be in a bit of a state. The Church Cemetery is a very interesting site - have you been there?
