    3. Hullo list - Our group is working on Isolated Graves in our area. We have just found one for the following - John WALSH, 9 Nov 1859, 51yrs Anecdotal info says he was probably a convict. He was a shepherd in the foothills of the Warrumbungles who rarely went to town, lived as a hermit. Does anyone have connections? We will research some of this but one thing we don't know where to start on is a language used on his headstone. The transcription is wnopepal tedroislue I wondered if this might be Welsh or Gaelic?? Could anyone give us any leads? TIA Alice.
