40 Years!!! Do you think he managed to find his ancestors?

Whilst wandering around Logie Churchyard I came across this stone.

In case the inscription doesn't turn out very well, it says:

"Sacred to the memory of Thomas Morrison for forty years in the General Register House, Edinburgh . . . . . ."

I take it he was a "pen pusher" in the GRO....

If you omit the "For" (forty years)........

Thanks for the chuckle.
