A genealogical and gravestone mystery

 
St David, Capel Bangor, Ceredigion, Wales

The entire site seemed very uneven and there was a massive and steep drop at the far side.
 
 
 
The name, age and date of death all appear to have been modified. What I would
like to know is why? The first name has been very neatly removed but with
no sign that a replacement piece of slate was ever inserted but the other
details do look as if replacement engravings were created.
