E-mail from Enid Bushby dated 14 Aug 2009:

"I went up to the Whitehaven record office earlier this week with our nephew. We found a book recording the 'monuments' from St. Bees cemetery that had been removed when the area was grassed over to make the graveyard easier to maintain. Looking through the booklet I found an entry relating to the Bushby family. It had been added in on a separate page, indicating, possibly, that it had been difficult to read or that it was found after the bulk of the monuments were catalogued. It was number 32 and a gap was left in the chronological order indicating that it was missing at the time of writing.

At the top of the inserted page was written LATIN which one of the staff in the office thought could have indicated that there had been an inscription in Latin that was indecipherable.

Underneath this was:-
