Hi Laura,
Guess what I found . . . . . ?
I think this might be what you're looking for!
"(Front of Stone)
Erected by Mary Simpson in memory of her beloved husband JOSEPH HUNTER
Who was accidentally killed at Woodyet Colliery 19th April 1917 aged 60 years
Also their grand son JOSEPH HUNTER died 18th January 1918 in his 5th year
Also the above MARY SIMPSON died 27th December 1930 aged 74 years
(Right Side of Stone)
In loving memory of ROBERT HUNTER died 17th February 1971 aged 85 years
Beloved husband of AGNES LOWRIE died 15th January 1976 aged 88 years."
I'm working my way round Denny Cemetery attempting to photograph all the stones and list the complete MI's for all of them.
I have photographs of this stone and can send you copies - send me a personal message with your e-mail address if you want them.
Anne

Hi Billy,
Do you live locally then?
If so, you'll know that Denny Cemetery if quite large.
So far, I've found 182 Andersons all buried there and obviously that doesn't include the graves which are there, but have no stones.
Is there anyone in particular you're looking for? Let me know and I'll have a rake through what I've got.
Was this the stone you found?

Hi Billy,
Give me a couple of days and I'll see if I can match up your names with any of the photos I've got. I don't have Lair Numbers for any of them though.
Could you PM me with your personal e-mail address as it would be much easier to send on info that way rather than post it on here.
Anne.
P.S. I'm not related to Stirlingshire Andersons, just a co-incidence that I share the same surname!

Hi Billy,
Yes, the rabbits probably still do out-number the stones! It's a real haven for wildlife although when the new Denny High School is built at the back (in Herbertshire Playing Fields), I kinda hope that its not a haven for a new kind of wild life!
I'll PM you with my e-mail - Go to the very top of the page and you'll see "Welcome back - you have XX messages" just click on it and you will access any Private Messages.
Anne.
