Greetings Vicky……….

Burial details :~

St: Peter’s Parish Church.
WHETSTONE.

1839.

Parish Burial Register Entry No’. 473.

Nathaniel Perkins of Enderby Parish,
26th. April.
Aged. 84.
   
I doubt if the stone would be still readable after some 174 years. …..
Also could well be that the Headstone has been lifted from the plot position
And place against a wall to help mowing……..

You could try and get in touch with Blaby Council Cemetery Services
There could be a Plot Plan in order to know of position of plot
and who else is buried with Nathan.

Thank you Half Pint but I think Mike from Leicester answered what I need to know. 

Thank you Ciderdrinker. Yes I have all the same info on ancestry but it turns out Nathaniel's actual birth was 1787.  I have the children, wife. Would like to confirm his parents I think it's Nathaniel Perkins & Mary Heathcoat.  Thanks for your help. 

Mike from Leicester. Thanks I believe that's exactly what I was looking for. I think the 174 yr old is a relative but i'll have to keep digging.  You did help me determine which Nathaniel Perkins I was looking for.

Hello I just looked and the Nathaniel you found is my 4th great grandfather!  There are very few Nathaniel Perkins so I knew he was a relative. I was searching for his son born 1787 you helped me find both.  Thank you and cheers.

Ps That Nathanial and Mary  may be him and his first wife.
