For us it really was the most amazing find, following a tip off from Denis we found these two gravestones in the churchyard at Laverstock. Mary Ann Barrett was married to Charles George Whapshare and from this couple almost all Whapshares with an h are descended. Harriett was the mother of Mary Ann and Sophia was the mother of Harriett. It must have amused Mary Ann to visit her father Thomas with his second wife who was her mother in law.
The lovely house where the family had a bakery is up for sale and it can be viewed from the bridge at the website of Myddleton and Major, the Rose and Crown is to the right off the picture.

My husbands family are Rattues from Laverstock. He is related to Henry Rattue, husband of Sophia, mother of Harriet and GM of Mary Ann. So much appreciate the images. Henry's brother was my husbands GGF brother and he Henry ran the Duck Inn at Laverstock. Thank you
