Note from WJL: To find graves, go up to church, past the church halfway down the centre aisle.
Note from JPL: Tonina, Les, Sallie and myself visited Blackwell cemetry on 10 July 2014, and found the grave. Photo taken.
Note from JPL: Hannah married again after Richard's death, to Daniel Jaques in 1906. According to Samuel Wilfred Goodall, Richard was an Ostler in the mines and later a farmer at Littlemoor Farm, Newton. Interesting that in the early 1930s, Samuel Wilfred called a creek in the Elk Valley in British Columbia the "Littlemoor Creek", which my mother Muriel, myself and my wife Tonina all visited in 2002, when we went to find where the family had lived between 1928-1935. In 1876, according to Kelly's Directory of Derbyshire, there was a Richard Goodall - Farmer at Mill Town, Ashover. Not sure if this is he.
In 1884, there was a Richard Goodall - Farmer at Tibshelf.
In 1888 Richard and Thomas Goodall were farmers and horsekeepers at Tibshelf. (from Muriel)
