Notes:
I beleive that the transcribed year of death, 1911, is in error, possibly due to wear on the inscription, and that this is the grave of my great great great grandfather, Thomas Dyer. He was Chief Officer of the Coastguard Station at Castletownshend, and died while on duty there on May 28th, 1844 at the age of 55, as verified by records found on http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk For more informaton, see https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/22579409/person/1262811...
