William Butroid and Rebecca Butroid (née Rebecca Bowering) - Church of All Saints, Misterton, Nottinghamshire

After walking part of the Chesterfield Canal from West Stockwith towards Gringley-on-the-Hill we decided to return by way of the north Nottinghamshire village of Misterton. This gave me the opportunity to take some photographs of All Saints Church at Misterton and check the headstones for family names. This graveyard is immaculately kept and congratulations must go to the person or persons responsible.

By sheer chance the first headstone I checked was that of one William BUTROID and his wife Rebecca BUTROID (née Rebecca BOWERING). To view the headstone click here.

My great grandmother Ziller JACKLIN Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949) had a sister Sarah ALLEN 1862-1943 who married Jesse BUTROID 1862-1943. Jesse was born at West Butterwick and Jesse's father John BUTROID, was born at East Stockwith, just across the River Trent from West Stockwith and Misterton.

At this moment in time I am not sure where William and Rebecca BUTROID fit into the family tree, but as far as I am aware this is the only connection the Jacklin line has with Misterton.

Unusually in these times of theft and vandalism the church was open and I was able to take a few photographs of the interior together with a couple of the stained glass windows. As usual the exterior proved more of a problem, strong sunlight prohibited some angles and 'street furniture' proved invasive on others.
