~Thanks Simon We have finished transcribing the stones but they are not yet indexed. I had to search by using the find feature and didn't include that variant. We hope to finish the indexing in the next couple of months

Jeff, As you say you are researching the Redecleave and Bridgman families, I assume your interest would be with Sarah Redecleave. Sarah's parents William and Elizabeth do have a gravestone in the churchyard of St Mary and St Benedict’s Church. They died within 9 days of each other in 1866. You can request a free photo of it from here http://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/findfamily.php?name=Ridecliffe
As you can see the spelling used is Ridecliffe, the name is rarely spelled in a consistent way. I much prefer the rather ancient sounding Redecleave (or similar) than the Redcliff/Redcliffe that it turned into. My connection with this family is through William Redecleve's sister Elizabeth who married William John's.

Hi Jeff, No gravestones for these names in any of the churchyards but many burials have no stones so they may well have been buried here.
