GRACE - grave photos - St Margaret & St Andrews Churchyard

Posted by Anne GRACE on 20/1/2026, 1:05 am

Hello from Australia
Seeking someone to visit, research and take photos of my GRACE ancestors graves/plots in the church grave yard. Also, if available, peruse the old church registers for others that may also be buried there. Suitable remuneration will be provided.
Thank you from Down Under.
Anne

Where is the church located?
Have you looked on findagrave website, might tell you if there are some photos there.

Yes; I have looked on findagrave. There a couple of photos, but not a photo of each listed GRACE grave/plot, and there could be other GRACES not on findagrave, hence the request also to look at church records if available.

Rookie error. St Margaret and St Andrews Church, Littleham, Exmouth, Devon, England.

Thank you.

Have you looked at the other grace names, and clicked on them, some have a family tree as well
There are plot numbers next to the names, might be worth checking if the unmarked graves are near those photographed?
.Do you have some names to link there?

Hello Judith
Yes I have looked at other GRACE names; am aware some have trees attached. Yes, have noted the plot numbers etc. Have also purchased, where available, birth and death certificates, have interrogated census etc. The tyranny of distance kicks in and I hit brick walls in not being able to do on-ground research.

If you give us some names it might help us point you in the right direction. Have you looked on national archives site for wills? for example, Commonwealth war graves site for WWW1 info? Its surprising what you can get on line, join this society for access to more info, try other counties nearby, as boundaries have moved over the years. Also you might make contact with relatives here who are also researching, and might have that little gem of special information.

Littleham burial register is available on the Findmypast website and there are 34 Grace entries between 1773 and 1911. Many of these graves will have no head stone as is often the case, it appears Littleham churchyard has been photographed for Findagrave and any records without a photo probably means they could not identify a memorial. Devonfhs offer a research service in the shop area of their website
