Bellie Churchyard - Photo of grave stones please

[specialkg]

On a visit to Elgin just before Easter I had hoped to visit Bellie Churchyard to photograph some grave stones but our time was reduced because of the weather.

Would someone be prepared to visit the churchyard and take some photos for me.  I would really appreciate it.  I purchased the MI book 2 years ago in preparation but did not manage to come up to Elgin last year. 

Thanks

Betty

Thanks for the offer

The following are stones I am interested in in Bellie

The two main ones in Bellie are Be409 Sime and Be579 Jenkins but if you do manage to get to Bellie and find the Sime one could you also take a photo of Be404/5/6/7/8 and Be410.  All with the name Taylor. I can print off the plan of the churchyard if you don't have the MI book.

Any help at all will be much appreciated.

Betty,

No probs.  I'll go and have a look.

Betty,

Not the best day.  I turned up at Bellie, only to discover that the battery on my camera was almost flat.  Never mind, I had a look round.  You are probably aware that there a lot of very old grave stones at Bellie, and some graves without stones; without the layout I have no idea how old the ones that you are looking for are.  Anyway, I couldn't find Sime or Jenkins, but found a load of Taylors - I photographed them with my phone camera.  If you can scan and post the cemetery layout, I'll go back for another look.

Hi Stuart

Thanks for your time.

I will attach two pages (hopefully) from Bellie MI book.
The reading for Jenkins reads:
IMO John Jenkins died 14th Jan. 1952 aged 59 etc.

Sime
IMO John Killoch Sime died 8th Nov. 1960 aged 62 years etc.

Thanks  Betty
