Hi Peter,
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Liam Mulholland at Lavey Parish confirmed there are no burial records available.

Caren, probably what Jim did to your photo is as good a chance of reading those stones that you are going to get. For future reference for those of us not computer savy enough to do that to a photo you get the same effect if you throw flour at the headstone before taking the photo. Sounds like an old wives tale but it really works

Hi M,
Thank you for the flour suggestion. Some pieces of the stone are so weathered, flour may not work; but I'll give it a try.
