   I have seen headstones which have been serially inscribed over a   
   prolonged period thus probably not by the same person but the style is   
   very much the same; it would depend on the skills and practices of the   
   local masons. If it is one with the lettering painted in then they   
   could possibly all have been done at the time of a later inscription;   
   my grandmother was buried in 1911 but one of my cousins had the   
   headstone overhauled in more recent times.
