Hi, Norrie

Could you give me details , please, on Co 70 James A Sinclair and Catherine Gourlay. I have 1925 for his date of death and 1923 for hers. Further info would be great.

I noted Co 95 has George Sinclair and Helen L Sinclair and wonder if they also might be related to me, so could I ask for their inscriptions too?

Many thanks,
Jim

Hey, Norrie. What a man!

Yes, these are my relations, and George is apparently the youngest child of James Sinclair and Catherine Gourlay. I had no record of him.
I really would appreciate photos of the headstones, that would be marvellous.

You're very kind.
Jim
