Post by: moragb on Tuesday 09 October 12 14:32 BST (UK)

I wonder if anyone could look up the above for the Robertson family of Dullator Farm, near Amulree.
James Robertson, farmer, died between 1832 and 1841.
Ann Murray, his wife, died between 1841 and 1941.
thanks a lot

A bit far from our usual hunting-ground, but the first MI (Marshall Sloan, 1973):

James Robertson farmer Diulator Strathbraan 1.9.1836 72y, wife Ann Murray 28.2.1842 69y, son George 25.10.1819 23y, daughter Janette infancy

This is great!!  I spent a day hunting through the graves and found nothing!!  Now, the big ask!! 
Are there any of the following: Margaret, John, Christian or James.  these are their children.  Also Robert (grand child).  I will look up dates of death if you need them tomorrow.
thanks a lot

Sorry, we only have the pre-1855 MI inscriptions here.  There are other gravestones next to this one, but they are not listed. You would need a local kind soul to have a look.  Your MI (no.1) is on the far right as you enter the churchyard.

There are 2 other Robertson MIs:

Ann Robertson (d 1865) widow of John McFarlane, Corlea.
John Robertson (d 1848) farmer Deanshaugh

also a group of Murray MIs, probably inter-related:

Margaret Murray, Strathbraan, young children died 1758, 1759
William Murray (d 1869) Coynachan
Alexander Murray (d 1835) Coynachan
David Murray (d 1838) Corriemuckloch

If you want any of these, just let us know.

P.S. Coynachan might be Kynachan (Tummelbridge)

Thank you for this.  I know that Margaret was buried at Amulree so perhaps she is on one of the non-recorded stones.  The rest are probably at Auchtergavin as they moved down to Shenval Farm.
Perhaps someone can give me some advice as to how to get information about burials post-1855.  I spent a day going round both Amulree and Auchtergavin cemeteries and found nothing!! (Ever seen an extremely bored husband?)
Many thanks for your help.
