Gravestone deciphering.

[Borley Manor]

I have found a local cemetery gravestone that features the incumbents name and relevant dates naturally, but after the deceased name has the letters M.N.I. after them. Can anybody assist me in identifying these letters please ??
Thank you for any help at all.

Male, female, adult, child, location, profession/occupation in life?

Depending on the date and location it could mean 'Member of the Nautical Institute'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_Institute

If they died after 1840, can you find them on a census and see if that helps?

Could the 'I' possibly be a 'J' ?
The letter 'J' was often carved as an 'I' in MI's and building date stones.

Possibilities include some variant or corruption of:
- Academic award
- Membership religious order or society
- Membership of some civic society, etc.
So it  would help if you could give location, date of death and religious profession. Right now could be the Antipodes for all we know.

A photo might help - certain of the letters?

Hi

I see  from your details that you are in East Anglia so I assume that the cemetery is there.

My first thoughts were something  related to the Merchant Navy but, so far, I've not found a match from this list:

As other;s have said, details of age, etc would help.

“Mariner Not Interred”? - i.e. buried at sea - could be anything.
