Hi Cjeff,
Here is a burial record for two TEMPLETON deaths in Stoneykirk Parish which are recorded elsewhere in Wigtownshire. [The personal message I sent you gives more details on TEMPLETON burials.]
This is a good of example of a Scottish gravestone which is actually a Family Memorial listing members who have died locally and abroad. There is an understandable tendency to think a gravestone is a burial record of those interred in that lair (grave plot), this example clearly demonstrates that is NOT always the case.
