Lonan MI for KERMODE please
In Response To: Re: Sarah Jane Kermode ()

Hi - Eleanor Kermode's death date on the MI as Nov 1st 1892 looks right for her burial on the 4th, and for the will to be her one.

Regarding the differing dates on your MI transcript, MIs are notoriously inaccurate (although still very useful!). The inscription may have been added years later when people have forgotten exact details, or they may be very difficult to read with some numbers and letters worn away or covered in lichen. Your 2 Nov 1835 date could have lost a 2, as you suspect.

The FHS transcript might have been done earlier when the engraving was clearer.
Donna, is this the same as you have?
MI Lonan:

Thanks,
