trying to find anyone researching the following family.
William Burton and married to Mary Fergusson 8th July 1892. Their children were Hamilton Burton b Tarbolton, George Burton 11903 Tarbolton, William Burton 1905 Tarbolton, Jean Burton 1899 Tarbolton, mary Burton 1897 Tarbolton and James Burton 1895 Inverness and died 1955.
William and mary Burton are buried in the Tarbolton Cemetry somewhere!!! ???
This couple is the grandparents of a very dear friend from NZ who is going to try and locate their graves on a visit in May this year and if anyone is related to the above family would love you to make contact and perhapes meet up with her when in Tarbolton. She would be thrilled if this came about as never been there before .
Cheers.
Maggie May. :)

Thanks Ev so much for this. We found it and it is the right family.
My friend is making contact with them today.
Wish you had seen her face today when I told her she was quite shocked
She has said to thank you very much as never in her wildest dreams did she think she would find a family link.
Cheers.
