You got the headstone inscription deciphered now ?

Sandra

I believe so. The dates under William are actually Fanny's! Very confusing! I have to say though that my father's inscription is probably going to confuse later generations! All it says, as per his Will instructions is "also husband of the above who died 13th February 2010 aged 79"

Excellent, glad you understood about the headstone.  You were lucky that I was able to find so many obits related to the Jones family.  Will keep you busy for a while

Indeed it will and my aunty has just sent me a load more (unrelated to this thread) information to keep me out of trouble! (or at least try to!)

Thanks again, I appreciate it.
