Greetings David, the post was started mid-'14 and there was no reply by the original poster to the last reply - mid-'15 - so they may not still be contactable.

Yet, there is always hope.  ;)

Poster John Winterbotham seems to be the person responsible for adding a photo of the headstone on the find-a-grave site.

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=148544957&ref=acom

If you click on Alberta's name in the site you will be sent to a page with a family death notice for Alberta.
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=148545027

The site also has an email contact and a profile for John Winterbotham (previous post) who lives in Cleveland and has taken photos and done some research on burials at Cleveland, Hemmant and Dunwich.
