'From Anfield Cemetery.'

Deaths (Anfield Cemetery).

Upon a visit to Anfield Cemetery in Liverpool, I 'transcribed' this headstone: In Affectionate Remembrance of Ellen, Wife of John Forshaw of Everton, who died December 29th. 1870, Aged 64 years. On whose soul sweet Jesus have mercy. Also the above John Forshaw, who departed this life August 8th. 1881, Aged 76 years. R.I.P.

Should the above be of interest to you, you are advised to view the original headstone, as this is not necessarily an exact 'transcript'.
