graveyard Photos + inscriptions

 

I have placed on this page photos of 50 grave headstones from the above cemetery, now I could not photo a few headstones, as these were in such a position that you could not see the inscriptions, as some of the headstones in the cemetery had fallen over, and were unreadable.

I do hope that you find this page useful in your research, and please be patient for these pages to open,

as they are fairly large files, with many photos.

I have listed these photos over three pages, so please don't forget to visit the other two continuation pages after viewing these, as there are many more photos and inscriptions to see.

All the images are watermarked. 

Please contact me should you require a copy of one of the photos listed,

not forgetting to give me the Photo Number & Names, which can be seen under each photo.

I can then send you a high resolution photo.

You can click on the images below, and they will open up in a new window.
