But I'm not sure what she really wants to know about him.   While idling my thumbs in a very quiet DGFHS Research Centre ( www.dgfsh.org.uk ) this morning I check their MIs database for THORBURN. Out of 200 thousand burials they record 90 gravestones listing THORBURN and 20 of these list a James.   Multiple search reports of the full MIs are available to DGFHS members and non-members are offered a one-off courtesy search against five family names.
