Hi George, Did you notice in Photo NJ5046 St Carol's Kirk, the third headstone from the left (red granite) Inscription: Alexander Mellis of Ruthven born 1820 - 1894 aged 74yrs, (under) his wife Jessie McIntosh 1824 - 1852 aged 28 years. Adam Thompson, son-inlaw of the above died 13 May 1901 aged 53. Isabella Mellis wife of the above aged 74 yrs, also their son Alex aged 35 years, Adam aged 26 years. George, you wont be able to read the inscription from the photo. I did take a close up photo on my last visit. By the way, I will be in Scotland from 1/7/2010 to 14/9/2010. Maybe see you at the Lonach gathering.
