Im sure that is the cemetery where i got bitten by something and suffered for hours :2fun::2fun: Anyway if it was i have photos somewhere of the headstones for the Gibson's buried in there. We went for a drive a couple years back with mum and dad and stopped to have a look at the cemetery and we seen these Gibson's headstones so i took photos of them for the info that was on them to check it out when i got home. Im sure i still have the photos somewhere.

 

[gibbo]

Cant find the photos Dave, then i remembered they were on my other computer that died a couple of years ago and i couldnt retrieve anything off it
