Despite being two of the founding fathers of Middlesbrough, the graves had fallen into disrepair until they were recently refurbished
Bolckow died in Ramsgate on 18th June 1878, 10,000 people attended his funeral, said to be one fifth of the population of Middlesbrough.
Vaughan died in London on 16th September 1868
A plaque to Vaughan who died on 16 September 1868 was found under a bush 20 years ago, this is also going to be put back on display
Update 28/11/11
A diagram of the plaque is now attached to the grave plot.
I wonder if Bolckow or Vaughan have any descendents alive today.
Well regardd he may have been, but his record in Parliament seemed a little lack-lustre with only 3 showings in Hansard – and alll written quesitons (2 on the same subject)

Oh, and coming back on the first query, John Vaughan did have a son, but I think that Bolckow died childless (altho married twice)
I think theres a chap in Hartlepool who is the great nephew of John Vaughan.
