i have the original in a better format so able to zoom in on it

Thanks a lot Pete! I'll add some of that later. There are quite a few that I'm struggling to read on this one cos they are very old

if you still got the original on disc they will be in a bigger format allowing you to zoom in

I wasn't sure I could easily put my hands on those originals Pete. I hadn't looked at them since before we moved house 2 yrs ago but....Hey Ho!! I turned around and there they were filed away in the corner next to my computer!!

All Saints Church & Vicar Street, Sedgley

So having loaded it, I'm still none the wiser even after zooming in

okay just list the others and i will have a look, most of it was at the bottom of the headstone

Had another look at this Pete and it's a very old headstone, I think it says she died 1822 age 80 yrs which would mean she was was born in 1742

What do you think?

I'm not sure about this so I think I'll leave it for now

Can be archived please
