The memorial in the church has been photographed and an attempt made to read the inscription on the link I gave above, and has been immensely useful.

I have now found, on Google Books, a book that is out of copyright, and I have downloaded it to my tablet.

It gives:


On plain mural tables of white marble on the south side of the nave:

In the vault beneath are deposited the remains of
Susannah, the wife of Mr. Thomas Rose of this parish,
who died the 15th of Novr, 1778, aged 35 years.
Also of Jane, their second daughter, who having first
married Mr. John Parrott, and afterwards Mr. Thomas
Tuck, died the 8th of January, 1798, aged 31 years.

Also of John, son of John Rose of Gray’s Inn, London,
Gent. second son of the said Thomas and Susannah
Rose, and Elizabeth his wife, who died the 30th of
March, 1798, aged 8 months.
Also of Catherine, the only child of the said Jane by
her last husband, who died the 13th of July, 1798, aged
2 years and 11 months.

Also of Mary Lowe, 3d daughter of the said Thomas
and Susannah Rose, and wife of William Low of the
Middle Temple, London, Gent. who died the 22d of
December, 1800, aged 29 years.
The remains of Elizabeth, second wife of the said
Thomas Rose, who died the 24th of March, 1800, aged
60 years, were, by her own desire, interred near her
relations on the south side of the churchyard.
The said Thomas Rose died the 3d of Feby. 1809,
aged 68 years: and her (sic) remain are deposited in the
same vault.
All the sons of the said Thomas and Susannah,
namely, Thomas, John, Richard, William, and Joseph,,
and their 4th and youngest daughter Anne, who married
Mr. Richard Rose, junr. survive them.
Their eldest daughter Elizabeth, who married
Mr. Thomas Randolph, died the 2d of December, 1798,
aged 36 years, and was buried at Long Crendon.
In Memory of Thomas Rose,
eldest son
of the late Thomas and Susannah Rose,
who died a Batchelor
the 27th of September, 1813,
aged 49 years.
Anne, youngest daughter of
the late Thomas and Susannah Rose,
and widow of Richard Rose, junr.
died 12th March 1816, aged 40 years.
William, second son of the said
Richard and Anne Rose,
died 15th August, 1804, aged 6 months.
Four children of Joseph Rose
(youngest son of the said
Thomas and Susannah Rose)
and Louisa his wife,
died in infancy,
viz. Harriet Elizabeth 26th April 1805
aged 11 months;
Mary, 5th December 1805 aged 3 months;
Thomas Joseph 16th June 1807 aged 4 months.

I now have the details relating to my ancestor Jane Rose.
Poor darling, she died aged 31, the same age as my younger daughter.


More people were added to the family vault later, which the link shows.
