Hi,

I had a look at my database and I photographed this cemetery in 2005 however I didn't get to take all of the headstones.   As we don't know if the lady in the photo is standing beside the Ross grave it seems things have changed since that photo was taken.     

I have one photo taken of the left hand side of the church and it shows just one grave with full railings around it similar to the white ones in the old photo.  It seems there was an extension to that side of the church and maybe the railings had to be moved for some graves.   The railings with the lady does not show a standing headstone - it might be out of view. 

It is definitely the same church as in my photo there are 4 pinnacles on the mid section of the spire the same as in the old photo. 

If you have any other surnames linked to this Ross family we might be able to find some headstone relevant to this family.
