Title: George Alexander Robertson 1919-1996
Post by: seahall on Wednesday 20 May 09 18:34 BST (UK)

Hi All

I saw this gravestone memorial to the above named person in
Market Harborough Cemetery, Leics England today.

Hopefully it may belong to some here.

Please excuse me if I have posted on the wrong board, hopefully
a mod may put it in the correct place, if I have.

Sandy

Thank you Sandy for that.
I think that if I am not mistaken, Helensburgh was in Dunbartonshire, at least according to Bartholomew´s map from 1890, so perhaps a moderator could do a flitting.

On a lighter note (than a gravestone), I remember well in my youth how much a good  friend of mine and myself enjoyed shortening Helensburgh to "Hel" when in the area, just to tease his mother, an upright minister´s wife.
We didn´t dare however if the dog collar himself was present!

Guid hunting,
