James and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Gravestone, originally uploaded by familytreeuk.
This headstone stands in the cemetery in Littleport, Cambridgeshire.
The Gilbert family were and are land owners in the area.
The stone shows that Elizabeth and James died close together – perhaps one of a broken heart?
Willie Gilbert is their young grandson.
So sad to see the young grandson listed on the stone, but it must have been comforting for the lad’s mother to know that his grandparents were taking care of him.
