IN LOVING MEMORY
OF

THOMAS BOSWORTH
WHO DIED MAY 30th 1897,
AGED 75 YEARS

ALSO OF

MARY
WIFE OF THE ABOVE
WHO DIED AUGUST 28th 1862
AGED 46 YEARS

THOUGH PARTED LONG WE MEET AGAIN!


Thomas Bosworth was born in Rothwell in 1822. He married Mary Timpson in 1842.

The couple had five (known) children before Mary died in 1862.

Thomas was remarried in 1877 to a widow Mary Ann Kilborn, nee Liner, who had three children by her first husband.

From the inscription it seems that Thomas's heart still belonged to his first wife.
