Forest Church - Gravestone Inscription (General)
This is a complete shot in the dark...
Could anyone in the vicinity of the Forest Church, with a digital camera handy, possibly take a photo of a stone inscribed
"GILBERT R. 1897 - 1979. MINNIE M. 1907 - 1979"
May posibly have the surname WATKINS as well
I have no idea whether tis stone is located inside or outside the church.
Many Thanks

Do you have a surname as well as the "possibly Watkins mentioned"?

Sorry May,
Didn't make that very clear in my original message.
Gilbert & Minnie are both Watkins' (she by marriage). However the info I have regarding the stone just says the inscription reads - GILBERT R & MINNIE M etc.
Could have assumed I would know the Surnase. Or maybe it does only contain their Christian Names.
