Hi Folks, Another way of getting what you need may be via Monumental Inscriptions. See our society's at http://www.bmsgh.org/bookshop/worc/wo_a.html I don't know the specifics on this one but there is often a map created in the indexing process for detailing the inscriptions on the headstones. Saves on the petrol money. But you will need a microfiche reader though. Another advantage of using microfiche is that if the work was done some time ago, then the ravages of time may be circumvented.
