This evening, I am posting a video clip of a very old family memorial stone from the burial ground close to Paisley Abbey. This records:
"Robert Hart & Catharine Campbell his spouse and their children 1799".
The inscription does not assign specific dates to individuals.
Two days ago I posted a video of a memorial to William and John Hart which is located in close proximity to this one. Maybe there is a family connection?

Lench Ancestry Paisley Scotland
This evening, I am posting a video clip of a Lench family memorial stone from the burial ground close to Paisley Abbey.
This elongated stone is extremely unusual and may have been intended as a marker of the burial plot. The inscription just records the names "John Lench and Elizabeth Clark and their children". No dates are given but judging from adjacent stones I would guess the date would be around 1810 (plus or minus 15 yrs).
