Greetings from New Zealand.
I am enquiring if any one is aware of there being a physical inventory/photos
or record of inscriptions of the headstones in the church cemetery?
My primary request is to find any gravestone for Elizabeth Affleck
(nee Fairbairn) born 21 Feb 1798 and died between 1841 & 1851. Elizabeth
is the wife of George Affleck (my 3rd great grandfather). Elizabeth appears
in the 1841 Census but has died before 1851. George Affleck worked on the
Dunglass Estate then emigrated to New Zealand from Bilsden/Cockburnspath
in 1860, following his son Andrew Affleck 1858.
These Afflecks were connected to the family of Fairbairn, Duncan,
Henderson, Tunnah, Vallance, Martin.
I would welcome any correspondence.

Hello
I picked up your query from the Co’path website. Borders Family
History Society have started to record the Monumental Inscriptions at Co’path
and so far, the newer part of the old churchyard and part of the older
part have been done.
I’ve checked the inscriptions I have and don’t have any Afflecks.
I thought that Elizabeth may have been included on her family memorial
but don’t have her listed. I am planning to resume the recording
as soon as we have some better weather and will let you know if I find
anything relevant
Regards, Elma
