Title: James McKinlay died 1871
Post by: gpaton on Thursday 14 July 11 01:24 BST (UK)

James McKinlay died age 55 in 1871 ? Parish of Hamilton.
He was a Colliery Manager married to Mary McConnell. His son Edward McKinlay was present at his death.

Would like to know where he is buried.

Appreciate any help or advice.
Many thanks

Hi Glynnis

First step you'll need his death cert. Do you have that? (DC won't say where buried but important to knoww where he died as will dictate possible places of intermnent).

Hi

His death cert should be available at Scotland's People which is pay per view. :D

This one may be him:

Died 1871   MCKINLAY    JAMES   Aged 55   HAMILTON/LANARK    Ref647/00 0278

Hi Glynnis

That depends on where he lived. Do you have an address from death cert? It may be possible to narrow down from where he lived.

You may have to approach the local authority for the info which will have a charge attached for providing burial details.

Ann ???

Hi Glynnis

I had a look at Bent Cemetery Burials 1853-1949 but neither James nor Mary are recorded as having been interred there. Sorry but at least you can eliminate Bent Cemetery, Hamilton.

Cheers,
