Headstones with no inscription?

Headstones with no inscription?

Looking for some help, I did try to search the Reddit for this question being asked before and couldn’t find anything so forgive me if this has previously been asked!

I visited a very old decaying graveyard here in Scotland today and have a couple of headstones that only have carvings such as the one here - I have gps for them, but obviously no information about the person buried here, how do I upload these kinds of pictures? Or should I even at all? I have scoured for burial records for the church that once stood here to try and find some names or plot info but the only available records on ScotlandsPeople are communion records, none for burials. The church went out of service in the early 1800s and there was one grave with an inscription of 1699 as death so that’s how far potentially these graves go back. Would really appreciate some guidance on the best way to document these - there are only 16 memorials at this church on FG and have checked and no one has put pictures of these graves up yet.

Thank you in advance! :)

Dating Postmarks

Hey everyone :)

After a bit of help, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of anywhere I could use to help date a postmark accurately? I’ve come to the possession of two old postcards sent to relatives, one addressed to a Mr. Locke, and the other a Mrs. Locke, the only trouble is I’ve had 6 Mr. And Mrs. Lockes from my family live at that address over time and want to try and narrow down who they were addressed to through dating them. They are UK postmarks (wales specifically) I believe from the early 1900s, and would really appreciate if anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction of how I could find out the dates - thanks ☺️
