I also differ with the transcriber re: the death date of Jane DICKIE who died November 2^nd - the 1850 looks like 1830 to me, and is a better fit with the fact that her father died in 1840. (It is a challenging stone to decode.)

The death of the 2^nd Jane was in 1856 as confirmed by a news account, so I inserted the number. The Belfast News-Letter (Belfast, Ireland), Wednesday, December 10,1856: December 5, of hemorrhage of the lungs, in the 22nd year of her age, Jane, third daughter of the late Robert Dickie, Esq., of Roachdale, in the County of Louth.
