Gravestone giving an unusually large amount of genealogical information - a family historian's dream
A gravestone which has given us a lot of information about the deceased person, information of great value to family historians and genealogists. It is unusual to be given the names of the parents of a 93 year old and we learn that he had at least 2 older brothers, also where he lived and where he is buried (not in the place his tombstone is located). It is Scottish and showing a wife or widow's maiden, rather than her married name, is normal on Scottish tombstones - though this practice is changing now. The names on the gravestone have not been redacted but everyone mentioned has, or must have, been dead at least 50 years, so information on them is available on the Scotland's People website.
