Clutching at straws here - but could it refer to their church? Holy Spirit?

Head Stone - I confirmed this when I was at the Cemetery

ahhh...OK - Thanks Olduser....so am I right in thinking that you can connect the other 4 but not Alexander Weir Duncan ?     is he likely to be the grandson of Ellen aged 40 wife buried 1871 ?
looks likely to me  :-\

I reckon you are right but cannot make the correct parental connection. Another entry on the same grave is Alec Douglas Duncan who died 1901 aged 6 yrs and is a grandson of Hugh Duncan - his father James Duncan could be the father of Alexander. There is a connection to the Weir family as one of Hugh's daughter Janet Maud Duncan b 1878 married Donald Weir b1878 in Liverpool in 2nd Jan 1900. Donald was 24 and Janet 22 yrs at that time,
This may remain unsolved until the B cert is applied for.

Garstonite, I've just noticed the address for Alexander 265 Crown St , well Hugh's family lived at 235 Crown St for years so I'll give the Kellys a good searching.
