Hello all

Hopefully this headstone may be of interest to other Sawle researchers.

The headstone is in Probus Churchyard, Cornwall.

Sacred Memory of Richard the 3rd son of Richard and Mary Sawle of this Parish, who departed this life on the 15th day of Dec 1809 aged 5 years, Also, Anna their 3rd daughter who died on the 24th day of the same month aged 9 months, Likewise, Mary Ann their 2nd daughter who departed this life on the 8th day of January 1810 aged 3 years. Our LORD said, suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.

What a sad time this must have been for the family, I can only assume the children had caught Scarletina or something similar.

My interest is in the Sawle's of Probus, I know some of the family later moved to Veryan. I have several names listed in various Census returns if anyone would like any information.
