The best I can make out is:

At Rest
Louisa Dakin
January 10 1940
George Henry Lea___M
Dakin
Born Sep? ? 1877?
Died Dec? ? 1957?


I presume this is the same people:

Sorry, what is already found?

Jim's original post asked if you'd found the couple in earlier records, so I think his edited post is just a reference to my post with records for the couple, nothing more.

I've had a quick look in the newspapers to see if there's any mention of their deaths and couldn't find anything.

However, there are a numerous references to George, in his business and social dealings. Below are a few that reference his residence & farm, matching other records.

Farming type connections would seem to make sense.

Did George HL Dakin and Louisa have any children? or where were they married?
