On the net I found: Mrs Major Hipsey nee Captain Letton
(Fibis database: Lucy M. Lalton married
Alfred Nathaniel Hipsey in 1890. The marriage
was registered in the Presidency
of Bombay. Fibis gives the name 

as Suey Maria Letton)
I came across this stone
many months ago but it
was too heavy to move.
