Title: Nellfield Cemetery Aberdeen
Post by: Beppy on Thursday 27 November 08 06:11 GMT (UK)

My family was buried in Nellfield Cemetery Aberdeen from 1874. They were the PARK family [including a Frank and Joseph and about seven others]. I found a reference to the burials in a newspaper item in 1899 regarding the Nellfield Cemetery Scandal when bodies were removed [in a gruesome way] and plots resold.

I would very much like to have the details of those buried there if anyone has access to any transcriptions.

Thanks

Hi Beppy,

Sorry for the late reply. You may have already found out the answer to your query. But if you haven't if you send it to burials[at]aberdeencity.gov.uk then hopefully they can help.

Good luck

The Aberdeen & North East Scotland Family History Society ( http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/ )has unpublished transcripts of the Nellfield MIs. I'll have a look for you next time I'm in there.
