Plan of graves in Blackawton Churchyard If using to find family graves, be warned it has some errors, especially where a person was given a surname as a 2nd Christian name - these tend to have been mis-understood as double-barrelled surnames and indexed as such. e.g. my ancestor William Bartlett HAMBLING is indexed under 'B' instead of 'H'. Some have been mis-understood as the whole surname, e.g. John Hingston STABB, shown on the gravestone as John Hingston, son of John and Elizabeth Stabb, has been taken to be John HINGSTON. (In other words, search for middle names shown in some way as a person's surn ame and you should find them). In a few instances two people has been indexed as one, e.g. the entry 'BURGOINE J M' is for the stone for John and Mary Burgoyne, 'BURGOYNE C E' is for the stone for sisters Ellen and Caroline. |

Possibly the gravestone of James Hambling (1762 - 1837) When I visited Blackawton churchyard in 2012 I had it in my mind that the "gravestone" of William Bartlett Hambling was a metal one near the south porch, that I had seen this on a previous visit, proably soon after my parents retired to Dartmouth in 1988, and thought how appropriate for a blacksmith. This memory was clearly wrong, it may well be that it was his father James who had a metal tablet. This time I saw no metal "gravestone", but did see this one, which appears to lack a metal plaque, and was close to the gravestones of James' grandson William Baker Hambling and his family. Hopefully somewhere amongst my notes I will come across a transcription; I'm sure I don't have a photo but maybe someone has? |

The wife, Susan nee Prout, and 2 children of William Baker Hambling This gravestone is close to that of the first 3 of William Baker Hambling's children to die, 2 in the same month as his wife, October 1855. This stone has the next of the family, the mother, Susan and then the next 2 children, William Bartlett and Mary Ann, on this side. The last child to die before William himself is commemorated on the other side of this same stone, and then finally William. One more child of William and Susan, Caroline, died and was buried in this graveyard nearly 6 years later, but does not seem to have been commemorated on a gravestone. |

Three children of William Baker and Susan Hambling The first 3 of William and Susan's children to die. None died as babies, at what was usually the most vulnerable time, but after the first, Fanny Maria, died aged 12 in 1854, 2 more were to die the following year. Selina was the youngest to die, at 2 years and 5 months, possibly missing a mother's care, since her mother was seriously ill at this time. The day after she was buried here further tragedy struck when James, aged about 6, fell into the River Dart and drowned, as is mentioned on the stone. |

William Baker Hambling and his daughter Elizabeth Susan This is unusual in being a gravestone engraved on 2 sides (on the other are the earlier inscriptions to William's wife and 2 children) On the right of the photo, just behind the fence, can be seen the left edge of the gravestone in memory of 3 other children of William and Susan. The square topped stone that can just be seen behind this stone is that of William's maternal grandparents, James and Sarah Baker; the small round topped stone to the left of that is his uncle, another James Baker. |
