Oh Jady, what a pity. The repairs after the vandalism are finished and there is no trace of the two stes of Bouch graves of my earlier post

I quote:-
"We are looking for a kind person able to visit Thursby churchyard and read the gravestones.
Two patches are of interest, just a few yards apart
The first group of five people are children of Sir Thomas Bouch (he is in Edinburgh)
They are William, Elizabeth, Richard, Ann, James Bouch.
To find them go behind the church near a holly tree. Approx 15 yards from the garden gate, third row from the wall and second stone from the right when facing the church

The other group, just a few yards away,  include Adam Bouch and his wife Sarah Graham and other as yet unknown members of the Bouch family

The deaths were around 1850 so I hope the headstones will be legible.
I am hoping to find clues that connect these two groups of Bouch people buried so close together in this country churchyard.
