*The Matlock Bath MIs on these two pages would not have been possible
without the hard work of Dr. John Davies who spent many hours taking
down everything on these memorials for the church and, in some cases,
comparing it with the registers. Thank you also for the help given
by and co-operation of the DARG, the Derbyshire FHS for use of their
published material, the Vicar of Holy Trinity, Matlock Bath and his
team, to Rita Effnert in Germany for typing the MIs from the DFHS
fiche and to John Palmer for his invaluable help as always - all of
whom have given written permission to reproduce their copyright material.
I am extremely grateful to them all. What is published on these pages
has been as carefully checked as possible by the webmistress, comparing
typewritten material with the fiche and information provided by the
church.
The photographs were generously taken by John Ramage, with thanks
also to the enthusiasm of Michael Wilderspin following his visit
to the web mistress in 2012.
