YES and NO! I just happen to be looking at KIRKCOLM and here are two CAMPBELL examples where the infants are named. 1. In Memory of John CAMPBELL, who died 23rd March 1899 aged 75 years Elizabeth HAMILTON, his wife, died 23rd Dec 1916 aged 91 years His sons: Alexander, died Oct 1862 aged 1 year and 10 months Hugh Alexander, died Dec 1866 aged 11 months John, died 8th Dec 1868 aged 12 years His daughter, Jeanie, died 8th Dec 1868 aged 15 years His father-in-law, James HAMILTON, died 16th Jan 1870 aged 69 years His grand-daughter, Helen McLEOD, died 19th Feb 1899 aged 3 years His daughter, Margaret Helen, died 27th Nov 1924 aged 56 years His son, William R. CAMPBELL, died 27th Nov 1942 aged 84 years His grand daughter, Polly, died 21st Nov 1989 aged 90 years 2. In Memory of Alexander CAMPBELL, late tenant in Eldrick, Kirkmaiden, who died the 26th Febry 1830 aged 77 years And Margaret THORBORN his wife, who died the 4th Augt 1835 aged 74 years Also Margaret, infant daughter of George CAMPBELL and Janet McKie in Auchentibert And of James McKAY, great grandson of the above, who died at Stranraer 15th May 1881 aged 12 years "He asked life of thee and you gavest it him even length at days forever and ever" Psalms XXI V.4. And in this case three infant deaths (one daughter and 2 sons) are mentioned but nether names nor ages are given. 3. Here lies the corpse of John McCREA in Milton, who died 1748 aged 80 years Also the corpse of Margaret CAMPBLE his spouse, who died 1738 aged 72 years & also the corpse of Elizabeth [ST]EUART, spouse to Hugh McCREA in Milton, who died the 8th day of Novr 1769 aged 59 years & of their children, young, one daughter & 2 sons This stone is erected by Hugh McCREA and Thomas McCREA his son[s]
