Also Mary, his wife, who died March/26/1827 aged 82 years.

In loving memory of Robert Teasdale, who died at Ivy House, Garragill December\??/1805 (could be 1905 aged 47 years.

Hello Derekac. Here is the gravestone inscription for Clementson. Is of a red sandstone? type that is badly affected by lichen :( but here is what can be read:-

In loving memory of Joseph Clementson of Garrigill, who died may/5/1845 aged 49 years.
Also of Elizabeth his wife, who died June/4/1867 aged 66 years.
Also Elizabeth, their daughter , who died ?????/5/1843? aged 2?? years.
Also John, their son, died May/24/1862 aged 24? years.
Joseph, their son died ??/13/1864 aged 46 years.
Matthew????? May/2/?? aged 43 years.
Margaret, their daughter died June/3/1857 aged 45 years.

Lots of ?????? but if they are yours it may give some useful information. Of course you will have to treat the dates and ages that have the ?? with caution.

Adam
Many thanks for the information on the Clementson gravestone. It has been a great help and ties in with the family tree as far as i have got.
Have you researched any other graveyards as we think that some of  the family may have been buried in Alston or Redwing.
Thank you for your time.
