Hugh Seymour in Drummaul parish, died probably 1838
« on: Friday 26 July 19 11:38 BST (UK) »
Hello

I am currently transcribing an old gravestone at Drummaul Cemetery.  It mentions, as far as I can tell from the photos,

REV HUGH SEYMOUR
d 23(?) NOV 1838(?)
AGED 36 (or could be 86)

I wondered if anyone could find him in any of the reference books for clergymen, and whether they could confirm/clarify the above dates or provide any other information.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response, going back to the photo that information ties up very nicely, 23 is actualy more like 25, and 1838 looks more like 1839.

I think this can be considered answered now. :)
