George Shaw Rutherford

No don't go that way on business... was just on way home from Sligo that day.

Same with Bawnboy and other Cemeteries..

Apart from the Carrick on Shannon and Drumshanbo ones the rest were taken while coming home from Sligo while my son was getting Dental treatment/checkups there when he had braces etc..

Otherwise the cost of going to those places and back just to take photos would be quite high... too high.

The http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/leitrim/photos/tombstones/markers.htm 
list is quite long but as you can see by the dates, taken over a few years, and while I was nearby or passing!

This one??

well I am sad.  Would there be a listing of it in any of the church records?

From what I can gather... that is the first time it was recorded!!

Well, a friend of mine is going to take the picture and do some thing to make the image larger.  Does that sound possible?  It seems to me it would just get blurred.  I am going to get that information one way or the other.  How much is too high?

70 miles return... 2 hours of time!

In order to photograph stones like that they need to be wet... then try and get them at an angle to capture details!

Possibly there are Programs which might increase details etc.  They are Copyright, and for non commercial uses,  http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/headstones.htm has search boxes for Names and Counties.

... I am pretty sure that this is my James Rutherford.  The date of his death could explain a lot of things for me.  Like why he was not at George Shaw's wedding.  I am not sure when James Jr. married.  I know on his death info. in 1862 his wife was  Eliza Shaw and I think I found something on Find My Past for that, like he married in 1834 ish in Ireland.  I have George Shaw's wedding certificate and none of the Rutherford's are listed.  His father isn't even listed, not even as deceased.  ...

There's no way to tell exactly who might have attended the marriage ceremony solely from the certificate- all you'll know for certain is that the bride, groom, clergyman and two witnesses were there. As for the father's name being left out- it may just be that the minister forgot to ask and/or record that item.
