Monumental Inscriptions - Forgue Aberdeenshire

Hi,

Does anyone have access to any detailed Forgue info?

I'm trying to untangle my Cran's of Forgue and Inverkeithny.
I've looked on the ANES FHS MI website, and it lists Forgue MI's as unpublished - but has a name index with plots on the site.

To match or eliminate some people, any of the MI detail beyond what is on the website would help ie - any relationships between the names of people listed on the plot.

eg "Names and dates on Stone Number 191:

Isobel CRAN 8 Sep 1824
Isobel CRAN 3 Mar 1833
Peter CRAN 17 Jun 1834

NOTE: This is not the complete inscription"

One of the Isobel's is my gggg grandmother - the other her daughter - which is which?

Are there any clues about my gggg grandfather Peter Cran's parents? There are Cran's buried at stones 190 - 194. Are they likely to be all related since they are all together?

Thanks,

Fiona
