Hello Sandy.I do not have a  Thomas and Hannah Jane Dowson at Lynesack, just a Matthew and Mary.
I had a look for all the Thomas Dowson's that I have, who died around 1920 and the only one that I have is for one at Escomb, but his wife was Margaret.

Joseph Robinson, husband of the above, died 1880 aged 82 years.
(The above stone is in poor condition and covered with lichen, hence the sparse information.)

There is another gravestone but the date is way past the date that I use for putting on the board
the dates on the stone is for 1970's but withe ages of 90 years it may be useful.
If you want it I can send it via the personal message board.
