Little Gringley, Retford, Nottinghamshire

Leaving East Drayton we moved on to the nearby hamlet of Little Gringley, approximately 4 miles east of Retford, Nottinghamshire. Little Gringley is the birth place of my great grandmother Ziller JACKLIN (née Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949).
Little Gringley consists of just a few cottages and farms and I doubt it has changed a great deal in over 150 years. There isn't a church in Little Gringley so we were left guessing where the locals would be buried since Little Gringley seemed to be equidistant as the crow flies between Grove and Clarborough.
2007-08-06 I finally found the time to visit the Church of Saint Saviour, Retford, Nottinghamshire. To read the new post click here, to visit the 'Gallery' album click here.

St. Saviours Church, Retford
Keith, thanks for your comment. I was in the area this weekend so I paid a brief visit to St. Saviours. I took some photographs and inspected some of the headstones. Could not find any with the family names I'm looking for: ALLEN and LITTLEWOOD.

I would suggest you try (if you havent already) the churchyard of St Saviours (Retford) for burials from Little Gringley.
Regards Keith
