Gravestone in Urquhart Old Cemetery

Erected by Alexander Cameron in memory of his father Murdoch Cameron late Farmer Leanaig who died July the 18th 1868 aged 57 years.

Hi Sandwellsadler    this is not my family,i was just trying to help you with your request.If you go into the IGI and just put the parents in the right hand side it will come up with there children.There was also another child but i was not sure if she belonged to them as it was 1870ish but have a check and see if you can get it   kind regards  Firthview
