Who are this Callear family shown on Hednesford, cannock, Staffs headstone?

Evening!

Whilst researching the/my Callear family tree, I have come across this grave [see attachment] (on find a grave site). I've tried various sites, searching for the individuals shown but beyond this gravestone, I have not been able to find any records that match their deaths, marriage of parents, birth of son, etc.

Link: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/219680568/john-callear

Can someone point me in the right direction (please!)  ???
Callear/Gallear and a growing list of (mis)spellings

One day my family history will become Callear!!

It could possibly be GALLEAR rather than CALLEAR.   On FreeBMD there is a death of a John GALLEAR in 1937 aged 59 and a death of a Walter Charles Gallear on 1979, born 10 Nov 1903.  Both are in the Stafford registration district

The first letter of the surname is the same as the 'G' in the word 'LOVING' on the first line. Luckily the whole thing is written in capital letters.
It must have been how the stonemason thought it was in this script.
