Gravestone help
« on: Wednesday 22 April 09 00:22 BST (UK) »
Hi ,

 I know this one is difficult, but is there anyway some one can decipher this headstone pic. The original photo was only about an inch tall and it was sent to me by email, so I can't rescan it.

I really would just like to be able to know whos gravestone it is a picture of.

I would appreciate it if any one can help.

Thank you,
Megan

Thanks Terry,

 I know it was a long shot , but I also think the first name might be Francis also. But for the last name I haven't a clue. The owner of the photo thought it might be of a Flanigan grave but i don't think so because the first name looks longer than the last name.

Only possibles that it could be are - McGrory, or Daly ??

Thank you for trying,
Megan
