This concerns the memorial of a "Wightman" family in Gladsmuir Churchyard, Scotland courtesy of Alison Wightman before she left for Canada. She had a gravestone erected in the churchyard. They are her father James Wightman (1825-1902), his wife Margaret, their daughter Christina, and James' sister Janet who Alison cared for until her death. They lived around Gladsmuir although in later years Janet was at Lauder. Note the gravestone was inscribed with some errors regarding dates.
