Family history

[Ken Rye]

Hello,

 

My great great grandfather Jesse Rye and his wife Sarah and early family came to Carlton around 1835 having been evicted from work in Kent and took up residence in Carlton working for the Ramsdens.  I believe Jesse was farm bailiff until his retirement, after which his son David took over.  Sarah died in 1870 and was buried in St. John's churchyard where her grave stone is still in good condition very near the small side gate to the church.  Jesse died in 1885, but I can't understand why he doesn't share that grave as he was still living there.  Will there be burial records at the church?

 

I attach a couple of photos, on purports to be the home of Jesse and the other is of Carlton Hall, which I understand was demolished in 1959.

 

I would welcome any help or response.

 

Thank you
