  9. this date/place being derived from the 1851 census. The 1841 census has him 2 years younger, but that could be accounted for by the rounding of ages that occurred in that census. His pension files imply 3 years younger, ie 1787, and confirm the place, and his headstone 3 years older, ie 1781. Somewhere around there is the best I can do as I couldn't find a Latheron baptism that conclusively fitted.
  10. his headstone showing an age of 72 and a date confirmed by his pension cessation documents, although the latter say he was only 66
  11. H/stone reads: Erected by Alexr Bain, Melbourne in memory of his beloved parents John Bain, Clashcriby Forse who died 17th Jun 1853 Aged 72 years. Catherine Gray who died 8th Jan 1865 aged 74 Years Also his brother James Bain who died 1st Mar 1879 Aged 54 years. Also his sister Jane Bain who died 10th Mar 1845 aged 15 years. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. In 1994 the cemetery was particularly overgrown. It is a remote location, a stone walled enclosure in the middle of a farm. My friend managed to get my wheelchair up to the gate from where I could see the grave directly inside. It is next door to a grave that is noted in the MI booklet as "This grave never to be opened".
