Hi Mandy,

You may wish to consider contacting the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Centre in Dumfries.  They may have a researched the cemetery you are interested in.

I would ahve popped round to the cemetery had I still lived in the area, but have since moved to Wiltshire.

Best of luck in your searches though,

Kojak

Hi Mandy

D&G FHS have published the MIs for Lochmaben:

I'd also try phoning the lady back.
