Good afternoon Ian, Thank you, you have confirmed my thoughts that the headstone appears to have been repaired at some time. I fee sure this is the John MARTIN we are looking for and his wife Marion who was also known as Sarah, hopefully his death certificate will confirm the findings. Regards, Dorne.

It has been broken and re-pieced together - unfortunately one of the cracks goes right through where the year is inscribed. Since you have found a registered death in 1883 and given that an 3 could easily have been read as an 8 due to the condition of the headstone, I will amend the Cemeteries of SW Victoria entry to read 1883.
