A couple of weeks ago I discovered a whole family gathering of ancestors in a beautiful Devon churchyard. Many of the gravestones were surprisingly easy to read and transcribe. However, with a grumpy child anxious to get back into the car and continue to our final destination, I didn't get time to transcribe them all properly so I had to rely on photos for the last couple. The one here appears to read "Samuel Scoble" but I can't make out any dates. I therefore wondered if someone here could do something clever with Photoshop or similar and make the image easier to read.
In terms of my Scoble family tree 'Samuel' was a favourite first name, and I have nine of them. I've already identified the gravestone of my 5x great-grandfather, Samuel Scoble 1724-1786 in the same churchyard. Other possibilities are my 6x great-grandfather Samuel, who could have died c.1725-50. However, there's no burial entry in this village for someone of this era on FindMyPast, which holds the Devon parish records. Another possibility is my 4x great-grandfather Samuel, 1761-1832, who I know from FindMyPast is buried in this churchyard. Both the 4x and 6x had a wife named Mary! There are two other Samuels, one born 1821 and one born 1859 in the same village. The rest are either more recent and/or lived elsewhere.
If it helps, I can email a high-res version to someone if they would like to send me their address via PM.
Many thanks in advance, Janey
