It never ceases to amaze me how clever the restorers are on here.  Well done to you both.

Hi there - I'm trying to find out more about David Low Thom mentioned on this headstone.  I believe that he may be related to my husband. My husband's grandmother was Mary Ann Thom born Forfar 1866 to Charles Thom and Jane Sievewright - are these the parent names mentioned on James Thom's death certificate?

Thanks to Aislin for the message and tree.  It's definitely the same family. My husband's great grandparents were Charles Thom and Jean Sievewright from Forfar.

Hi Jill,

I've just got home this morning and I've sent you a PM - it certainly is the same family.  I had already looked into Mary Ann's descendants but did not pursue finding contact details for them since they are not suitable DNA donors.

I've got so many emails to sort through after being away but if you email me at the address I gave you in the PM I will send you on the tree I've compiled and some other information on David.

I hope you like the great work done on the headstone in this thread as well!

Regards

Michelle

P.S Thanks for letting her know I was away Poll!

I think that David Low Thom is distantly related to my family.  If my records are correct, David's Grandfather George Tasker (b.1826) and husband of Jane McInroy is my great great grand uncle.  George's sister, Grace Tasker (b. 1824 in Cargill, Perthshire) was my great great grandmother and was married to my gg grandfather Andrew Scroggie.  I don't have much information on the Thom or McInroy families but will begin to research them.  I have extensive information on the Scroggie line (from Aberdeenshire) and Tasker line (Perthshire).
