Christmas in England
2006
DAY 10: Sunday 31 Dec
Michael
Thomas and Nottingham General
Cemetery
Sunday
and a
chance to meet up with Michael Thomas and his father-in-law John
Goodliffe.
John, like me, is the great-great-grandson of Arnold. John
descends
through Arnold's youngest son Edwin Daniel.
We
visited Nottingham General Cemetery
where many of the early family are buried. Michael had searched the
cemetery
records and had found all of the Goodliffe graves.

Sandiacre
After
lunch, we drove west to Sandiacre,
to check on the Froggatt graves on the churchyard of St Giles. Just as
well, as
the local council recently inspected all of the headstones and deemed
many of
them "unsafe". Much to my surprise, the Froggatt headstones do not
require any maintenance.
