Was going to do a post ....re M.I. Liberton and decided to check first ....
..you have no replies..so I won't get any either..
I was going to try for the surname INCH..
Good luck on your quest!

You could always try going direct to the source
http://www.libertonkirk.freeserve.co.uk/index.htm
There is no sign of Cornwall on the list, but there is Inch.
This website http://www.ancestor.abel.co.uk/Liberton.html#mi indicates that there is no index to Liberton cemetery next door, which may be wher more recent ( ie c1900) burials took place.

Hi,
You may already have this info. I have MIs for Nth East Midlothian (by Scottish Genealogy Society) which contains Libertson grave inscriptions:
3 'Inch' graves:
Robert Inch, farmer South House d. 3/5/1859 aged 44, 3rd son Robert d. 7/6/1875 aged 25, 4th son John d. 1/8/1881 aged 27, at Capetown, eldest son Adam d. 28/6/1892 aged 47, Hyvots Bank, Janet Plenderleith d. 21/8/1901 spouse to Robert Inch aged 84, younger daughter Flora Tod d. 9/11/1918 aged 66.
(Worn stone) .........William Inch, his son...Nov 1850 aged 2, his spouse Catherine Gibson d. 15/3/18??, John Inch, farmer Liberton West Mains d. 21/2/(1863?).
Thomas Inch, farmer Morton Mains d. 20/1/1907 aged 50, eldest daughter Elizabeth Esplin d. 12/11/1888 aged 7 months, only son John Lindsay d. 1/12/1900 aged 7, his spouse Isabella Webster d. 12/1/1958 aged 93.
(These last 2 stones were next each other).
Best wishes,
Craig

Ellerydesign....Thank you for the time you took on the lookup...From your input I took my plastic and went to SP...they like it when you spend....
"The last 2 stones were next to each other".
.Ok Those were what I was after.
Catherine Gibson died 1/3/1890 and John Inch her husband died 21/9/1891 as per their death cert from SP.
I know old stones are hard to read.
The Thomas of Morton Mains was the son of Cath & John..
I have been able to reconstruct this whole family unit...Catherine and John Inch had 10 children..
Anyone needing this info,I will be pleased to share.
Surnames of 5 of the spouses of these 10 children ,include..Melrose,Anderson,Oliver (line I was chasing),Riddell and Mark.
The Robert Inch you listed who died in 1859 age 44..could well be the bother to John Inch who died in 1891...just might have to take my plastic and go visit SC again.
Thanks again for your time....it's kept me busy for a few days now.
Is not it amazing what a tiny bit of info can produce....

No problem. Glad to help.
