I don't know. I did pass copies onto Christine at countysutherland website. I didn't at the time have the software to put a copyright notice on them.

The inscription reads "In loving memory of our dear Mother Effie Gunn beloved Wife of John Mackay died 21st Oct 1947 aged 84 years. And the said John Mackay who died 16th Feb 1956 aged 91 years. Also their Daughter Bessie Ingram who died 3rd Dec 1964 aged 72 years. Cremated at the Western Crematorium Glasgow Erected by Husband & family." I have a photo taken 10 years ago if you want to PM me with your email address.

I took photos of 297 Balnakeil stones. I missed 15 and need to go back some time!

...The register goes from Jun 30, 1843 to May 1956 so perhaps their other children were born after 1856.

The mystery continues.

I stopped transcribing at 1856 as a) the statutory register starts at 1855 and b) I ran out of time in the archives!

wini, they may have belonged to the Free Church, which maintained its own register. The Free Church was a break-away movement, referred to as "the Disruption", which occured in 1843.

I have a copy of a transcription of it's Durness register by Angi Lamb. If you give me some names and dates, I will take a look.
