here's 2B.230.  Unfortunately the stone is broken and someone has planted a tree near it which has taken over.  It looks to me though like none of the writing is missing and the stone only commemorates Jessie's husband William.

Here's a photo of the plaque to Margaret.  There's no other stone I'm afraid.

Here it is, finally - I'm sorry!  Glad you got the lair number, there's no way I would have found this just looking as it was buried under leaves and mud.

For wildrosecanuck

Bad news, sorry. There's no stone on the lair  :(   I'm certain I'm in the right place as the number is legible on the stone at M.159 so there's not a lot of room for error.

It's a very bad section where most of the graves have toppled but the only possible I could see was the white tablet lying face down which you can see to the left of the tree.  Managed to pull this up and it wasn't hers.  If you get the lair for her son Thomas I can have a look for that. By 1961 he may be in the new cemetery.  It's possible she's mentioned on his stone?

For olduser1

An easy one, thank you ;D  The stone is on the main path near the main gate on Netherlee Road.

Right, that's everybody for now I hope.  I will come back to this later and PM people individually now I can.  I can send full resolution pics and maps by email.
