Morvah Gravestone Transcriptions

[HeatherC]

In case it of help to anyone.........

I have uploaded gravestone transcriptions and some photographs of the churchyard on my Morvah OPC site freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~morvah/index.html

More updates to existing articles/information plus new items to add as I build the pages and sort out all the pics!

Best regards

Well done Heather!

Very interesting and most useful and the site appears to be well laid out.

I have only had a brief look around with most interest for the moment on the gravestones.

And I note with interest the information (or lack of! ) on the gravestone of William Lawry and his family.

Lack of information?

There is no mention of his wife Elizabeth (nee Quick) anywhere on this stone!

I find that most unusual.

Thank you CT and White

CT....... Re William Lawry's gravestone

I agree that that does seem odd there is no mention of his wife........ there certainly was room around the sides for more inscriptions....... but I would have thought William's wife would have been on the body of it?

The only thing I can think of is..... this particular stone (that the engraving was on) looked a lot newer than the grave surround and base (base and sides were rather weather worn)....... So, was the top, which appeared to be black granite, a later addition to repair/replace the original and Elizabeth's name was missed off the new carving?

Could be a possibility?

I may be returning in October, and if I do I will check again for you.

Best regards
