Hello Amy,
          In my MI book I found an inscription for George and others. It reads

"David Hogg, Mason , 15.3.1881 age 74. Widow Margaret balfour 15.4.1866 age 53. Daughter Elizabeth 6.1857 age 8. Daughter Jane 19.7.1866 age 15. Son George lost at sea 10.1861 age 31, his mother-in-law Elizabeth Robertson 22.3.1858 age 82, daughter Ann survives. George M Boath died Montrose 22.9.1886 age 42, his son Robert 3.10.1885 age 3yrs 8mths"

Now, on adjacent stones there are the following.
" 1883 by David Hogg and margaret Balfour In memory of children Agnes died in infancy, David 26.7.1867 age 27 "

" By David Hogg, mason and Margaret Balfour In memory of sons Alex 22.9.18349 age 15 James 12.7.1834 age 9mths "

Oh this is certainly them!  Thank you so much for the inscriptions.  This is very helpful.  George and Ann Boath were my great great grandparents. 

Is there a way to check the list for Annie Menmuir Cargill?  I have no date for her death, only that it was after the 1901 census and she was born in August 1839.  I have a feeling that she is not there but anything is possible.  Her husband was buried in Rattray Churchyard in 1871 but she is not there either.  Having trouble finding her.

Thanks again!
Amy

Alex,

Would you mind just clarifying the death date for Alex Hogg?  The year has one too many numbers.

thanks,
amy

Sorry

There is a woman who has posted images from the Abbey graveyard on Find A Grave.com. In her profile she mentions checking with her to see if she has images that may match your relatives. I was thrilled to see an image of Samuel Christie posted there my 3x ggf. User name: Kath~SL
