Hi Tom,

Stockport Heritage Library have the Monumental Inscriptions for Macclesfield St Michael's.
They start in 1767 but I'm not sure that they will take in the whole of that year.
You will find the contact address here, you will need to give them the date of his death/burial.

Here lieth the body of
Mary Wife of Robert Lane
of Macclesfield who died Oct

Also Robert husband of the
above Mary died June 19th 1791

Underneath this stone we made our bed
Let not the living dig up the dead

This stone belongs to Thomas Underhill
of Macclesfield 1825

Many thanks Adnepos.
And his wife! a bonus.

I wonder how Thomas Underhill came to own the stone some 30 years later? Not come across that name in his descendants - so far 

I will send  a pm for directions - if I can ever get there.

Thanks again
