Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Latin Inscription Translation Required
« on: Yesterday at 09:19 »
HIC IACIT will be an error for HIC IACET, which means "Here lies". FIL will be an abbreviation of FILIUS, which means "son". The other two words are names, but whether someone has tried (not entirely successfully) to Latinise their endings, or whether they have been left in their native language is not certain.
Here lies Carantus/Caranti/ Carans the son of Cupitanus/Cupitani/Cupitan.

Aberdeenshire / Re: St Fergus burial records

His parents' gravestone at St Fergus says:
Erected by Arthur Murray farmer Blackhill in memory of his son
Charles d. 15 Dec. 1854 in 32nd year. Above Arthur Murray d. 30 Jan, 1867
aged 81. Elisabeth Slaker his wife d. 14 Oct. 1864 aged 72. Their dau. Elisabeth d. 18 June
1861 aged 44, their grandson William A. Murray d. 8 Dec. 1868 aged 20. Their son James farmer
Blackhill d. 15 June 1889 aged 68, Elizabeth Buchan wife of the above James Murray d. 30 Sept,
1906 aged 80.
4 breadths, two South & 1 North of this stone
The note at the bottom of the stone indicates that the family have four lairs side by side, but only the one has a stone. It is quite possible that some of the people mentioned on the stone are buried in the lairs to the north or south. Your Arthur and his wife could well be in one of these four lairs.

In a place name a -moss ending would make sense, but it would not be usual to write ss like that at the end of a word. Are there any other examples in the testament of words ending in -ss to compare?

As often is the case, place names are not always clear unless you know the area involved.

There is no indication on this page of any relationship between Ninian and Marion. Marion is defined as the wife of John Davidson. That does not preclude her from being a sister, for example, as there is no need to define her twice, by mention both of her husband and of her relationship to Ninian.
