Each volume of monumental inscriptions will give you a copy of all the details found on the original memorial. Monumental inscriptions can provide your ancestor’s name, residence, death date, and age at the time of death, as well as the names of other family members such as parents, spouse, or children. In some cases, the exact location of the memorial within the churchyard or cemetery will be noted. Most parishes hold memorials dedicated to those who died during the First World War. War memorials will provide your ancestor’s rank and regiment and, in some cases, where your ancestor died.
