Thank you Anne,

I have a copy of the book as well.
Also inside the Kirk at Bedrule I saw a visitors book where a member
of your family had left the inscription printed inside. So future
generations should be able to see it as well. Such a shame that
the stone is laying flat because the inscriptions are now almost
completely unreadable due to weathering. Just as well that a member
of your family went over there prior to this happening. I obtained the
copy of the book from Alex Murray of Kimbriki-Taree around 35 years ago I suppose,
not sure - but ages and ages ago.
Thank you for reprinting it here.
