Are you interested in the history and stories from your local area?
There are approximately 12000 people buried in Teignmouth Old Cemetery. As we uncover graves we come across people who sound as though they might have something of interest about them that would be worth researching - perhaps an interesting epitaph, perhaps a military or naval connection/rank etc, perhaps an indication of something they have achieved. We are trying to capture those stories through research - both genealogical and via documentary sources - newspaper archives, books, official records etc.
The stories are written up and included on our web-site for others to enjoy.

We also often get requests about people's ancestors who we then try to track down.
