Whether monuments or gravestones are very grand and ornate or are the humblest of stones tucked away in some forgotten corner of a
toM
ori
Churchyard, they represent part of our heritage and although “etched in stone”, their inscriptions are disappearing at an alarming rate.
Whilst some may still be standing, others have either toppled or have been laid flat, all eventually suffering from the elements,
becoming so weathered or eroded that their inscriptions have faded or at worst, disappeared completely. The care and attention once
given to tending that special place long gone – shrubs and weeds taking over, obscuring or even hiding a once prominent site. In
many old Churchyards, gravestones are removed or relocated to assist in the maintenance of the burial ground or because the land is
up for re-development and can end up as nothing more than a path.
Monumental Inscriptions or gravestones are far from being the permanent records our forefathers hoped would last forever
so I hope my efforts over the past years in photographing and transcribing some of the old and not so old Churchyards, Cemeteries
and Burial Grounds in Stirlingshire and a few surrounding areas may help to preserve this valuable information before much of it is
lost forever.

Erected by William Marshall
In memory of his children
JOHN died in 1853 aged 2 years
JOHN died in 1855 aged 2 years
JAMES died 20th August 1857 aged 2 years

JAMES died 8th July 1871 aged 21 months
And his son SAMUEL MARSHALL
Died 3rd August 1888 aged 21 years
And his son WILLIAM MARSHALL
Died 19th September 1898 aged 38 years
Also his daughter MARION MARSHALL
Wife of Alexander Rankin
Died 25th March 1901 aged 36 years
The above WILLIAM MARSHALL
Died 9th June 1901 aged 74 years
Also his wife JANET ROBERTSON
Died 8th December 1910 aged 84 years
From the inscription one can see the parents and their children, also that at least one, even if their only daughter, was married.
Ages at death can assist in determining not only years of birth, but can indicate the time span over which children were born.
On this particular stone, by using only the information on the inscription, the first child’s birth (John) would have been in 1851,
M
the last child (Samuel) in 1867, so this couple’s family were born over at least a 15 year period.
This information provides enough detail to make internet searches both faster and more economical particularly as the
Marshall Family would appear on both the 1851 and 1861 Scottish Census Returns.
This stone shows the common practice of repeated use of two particular forenames i.e. John and James.

Where possible and legible, Maiden Names and Married Names have been listed as separate entries, e.g.
Smith, Jane (nee Jones) - Married Name being Smith, Maiden Name or nee, Jones
Jones, Jane (Smith) - Maiden Name being Jones, Married Name, Smith
On occasion where only a year has been entered on the following Index, this refers to a year inscribed on the stone.
It may not necessarily be the date of death of one of the individuals concerned,
but could be the date of purchase of the lair, or the date on which the stone was erected.
Should only initials appear on inscriptions, these are usually the initials of husband and wife.
Often there is more than one stone to the same family or couple and the ‘Initials’ can then be verified.
(Women very rarely being referred to by their Married Name)
