Inscription:

In loving memory of James Martin, who died at Auchenhay, Borgue, 20th March 1905, aged 81 years. Isabella Corson, his wife, who died at Little Boreland, Parton, 22nd May 1901, aged 79 years. Isabella Martin, their granddaughter who died in the Middlesex Hospital, London, 22-1-39, aged 60.

Note on Wife: Isabella CORSON

15 year old Isabella appears in the 1841 census living with her brother, Andrew, in Balmaghie.

Corson surname is spelled Carson.

I have calculated Isabella's year of birth from the 1841 and 1851 censuses, this is different than that calculated from her age on her death certificate (79 in 1901).
