The work of presenting the final records on the www site is certainly very
minor compared with the hours spent in the graveyard transcribing all
stones! Some are totally unreadable and many take much squinting and
viewing from different angles. It's not surprising if part of a stone gets
omitted.

So anyone using gravestone records should always check them against other
sources and not take them as definitive.
