Could someone please look at 2 gravestones for me.

William and Ann Alexander.
If you read the inscription on the second gravestone carefully, you will see that three Williams are mentioned.

The main one died 1814 aged 79.
The next died 1821 aged 64.
At the bottom there is a William who died March ? 1801. Could someone tell me if they can deciphere his age.

You can zoom in by clicking.

I so want this to be by Dad's Alexander family.

Looks like aged 5 to me.

Thanks, KiteRunner.

If this is my family, then the lad in question was born on 10 April 1794 and christened on 5 Jan 1798 at St Peter and St Paul Marlborough.

That is, unless the IGI have entered the information incorrectly.

I played around with the picture in Photoshop and I can only see one figure - it has a straight horizontal line and a straight line coming down the left side of that line - so I would say it was a 5.

Thanks, Sabrina. It looks as if it is a year out so perhaps not him, although you never know.
