SOME months ago I wrote to you as I have in my possession a headstone which I found discarded in the hedge near Cherry Tree Nursery in Northbourne.

I have since been trying to trace any living relatives or to find out which cemetery/churchyard it has come from, but so far have drawn a blank with all my efforts.

Would you please print this letter as I have run out of ideas to find where it has come from.

It reads Reginald WG Leavey died aged 67 8th April 1979.

I really would like the headstone to be returned to its rightful resting place.
