Exact wording of epitaph: 

ERECTED BY

Major John Gallwey in memory

of his beloved wife Bridget Ellen

who died March 8 1836 aged 36 years

She excelled in every relation of life as

daughter wife and parent she practised those

virtues with which she was prominently endowed

the conviction that they secured to her

( through her Redeemers merits on which she humbly

relied) a blissful unworldly imortality can alone soften 

the grief of her bereaved husband and children

and afflicted friends who rest in the hope which

can take from death its sting and from the grave its victory.

A soul more pure from form of clay more gain to heaven

ne'er winged its way

Beside the remains of his mother

Christopher, fifth son of the above John Gallwey

he died April 20th 1836 aged 6 years.
