I was wondering if someone might have a photograph of a gravestone in Knockando to William Miller and his wife Elizabeth Cumming. According to Alison Mitchell, the stone reads:
Wm Miller of Tomdow 10. 1794 75, w. Eliz Cumming 11. 1788 72 da Margt 17 10 1789, ss John, Chas, Hugh ed.
I have come across an entry on another list of graves where they give the sons who erected the stone as John Charles and Hugh, i.e. 2 sons not three. The John Charles is listed in its own box as one person. I would have thought it a misprint except that I have a John Charles, a grandson to the Charles or John Charles Miller mentioned on the stone, in my tree. I have found lots of information on the brothers John and Hugh but am struggling to find anything on Charles apart from his being father to two illegitimate children. I was hoping to look at the stone to see if I can make it out one way or the other.
Many thanks

If you have a look on the Libindx site you will find the details there.

Thank you.

Even the MBRG reading of the stone as recorded on LIBINDX could have misread one son named 'John Charles' as two sons named 'John' and 'Charles'. In which case even a photograph may not answer the question.
