Hi Norrie,
With the first inscription you have here of Alexander, son of Barnie and Cathrane 1489 - we have him being born in 1843 which would make him much older than 70 in 1941? Do you think the interpretation of the inscription is incorrect? (Don't want you to be making special trips- just in case you have the photo or source)
Hi Deborah yes your right I got it wrong it should be 1914 not 1941 ( I'am getting Old )
