I came across this site on another forum and I was lucky enough to get a picture of my 4x gt uncle's Headstone.The very generous owner of the site has given his permission to post it on here for Talking Scotters.Hope someone is as lucky as me.

I hope this is the right forum.

Thanks for that, Janet.

I've seen several that could well be mine. Will be checking them more closely tomorrow.

Best wishes

Hello Janet

Me also having a quick peek but not finding anyone yet

But the man that did this should be praised for taking the time to put the names in alphabetical order aiding an easier search !

Just noticed Edgar on your surname list. Where are your Edgars from?

I found two, one that is mine for sure, another, not sure yet, but asked for it anyway. What a lot of work went into that site!

Hi All
It was my pleasure to post this site.It's great that there are such unselfish people willing to share all their hard work, and there is a lot of work in this. Can you imagine how long it's taken him to go round all those graveyards?
Hats off to Kenny.
