Initially I understood that there was only one monument with an inscription mentioning one of the Balshaws during the period 1771 to 1961.
In memory of Eliza Cropper who died November 28th 1875 aged 40 years. Also of Teresa, wife of William Balshaw who died April 6th 1876, aged 69 years. Also of William Balshaw died February 22nd 1888 aged 84 years. Also of Thomas son of the above who died July 23rd 1900 aged 60 years. (Ref X17)
Note: Teresa not found in St Catherine's House indexes. The nearest was 2 years old when she died in Ormskirk in the March quarter of 1870.
However, a number of other entries have now come to light.
