John and Sarah Ann Claxton
I was looking through this impressive list and came across this inscription. I have been researching my family tree for some time which includes the Claxton family from Norfolk who came to Amble sometime in the 1850s. I was trying to find out about a John Claxton master mariner when I found his name in the Maritime Memoriall with the memorial number M4715. This gives the location as St. Lawrence's Church Warkworth. It has all the same information as in your transcription and the dates for Sarah Ann are 6th Jan 1869 aged 57. Hope this of some interest. Can someone please tell me if this Sarah Ann is the same Sarah Ann living at Amble in 1861 with her 3 sons John, Robert and Jonas John and Robert mariners. Elizabeth, John's wife was Elizabeth Barry born at Whitby.
Anne
