I think Elizabeth Milne (19th July 1869) and George Mortimer (12th April 1855) are buried together at Logie-Durno, stone 48.

Apologies for the long delay in replying.

Can you tell me where you go the gravestone information from Elizabeth Milne and George Mortimer? I have been searching on the internet to see if I can find an inscription but to no avail.

Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society have a fabulous website with an Index of Monumental Inscriptions.

This index is available online at the new site, it's so much easier to use now  ;D

http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/databank/miindex/miindex.php

The full inscriptions are published in booklets by the ANESFHS.

Hope this helps
