Hi Redroger,

Thanks for your interest and sorry to be a bit late with a reply but I've not had much time to keep up recently.

Yes, I did try the county archives quite a while ago but no luck.

Whilst it's possible to sometimes find a burial entry, it seems that the actual gravestone inscriptions were rarely recorded, or if they were, they have been lost - just my luck !!

Thanks again for the suggestion

Cheers

Barbara.

Hi,  thanks for trying to help.

We have tried the charcoal bit in the past, but unfortunately, the gravestone is crumbling at the touch and I'm afraid it didn't give up any more information.

We've had to accept that we can glean no more from the stone.

Thanks again

Barbara.

Hi
New to this site but our local family history centre records gravestones - usualy a couple of cemeteries a year so worth trying the local family history centres - we use a mirror to reflect light onto poor stones - amazing what you can read by moving the mirror around reflecting light onto the writing - worth a try although this one may be well past it.
