I have managed with the help of all you lovely genes reunited people to locate my missing andrew pearson. In looking for his father however i have come across a monumental inscription (not too sure what this is) that reads Marrages Gorrigonda Containing County Kinrossshire Country Scotland 26 (against outside of above enclosure) John Pearson mason kinross with Ann Watt 14 Oct 1823 39 My question is what does all this mean - i don't know what a monumental inscription is i'm assuming headstone but i can't find anything on Gorrigonda or what the date is refering to. I was thinking that maybe this is the date that he died - or got married. Any help interpreting what this all means would be very much appreciated. Thanks Tamara
