Dear friends, I have found this photo of the gravestone for 9 year old Ellen CATH, but am having great difficulty in deciphering it. She was the daughter of Thomas CATH (d. 1831) and Jane RUSSELL. She was born about 1826 (though I have not found a record for this) and died in Dover on 7th September 1835, buried on 11th September. If anyone can help with reading what is actually on the gravestone, I should be most grateful. https://billiongraves.com/grave/ELLEN-CATH/9969400 The address given in the church record is Military Road, Dover, but basically they were a London family. Could this have been an orphanage? Her mother did not re-marry until after she died. Many thanks. Jenny Bussey (UK) Guild of One-Name Studies member 3625 One-Name Study for CATH worldwide
