Does anyone know tge name of the records were the undertaker does the burial and the state pays for the funersl were and what is the name of the records called council burial records
-
Hi and welcome to Rootschat
There are public burials and pauper burials
As I understand it - if the family could pay the undertaker but could not afford to buy a grave - the council would provide that facility but there would be more than one person in the same grave. This is a public burial.
If the deceased or any surviving family members were destitute - then the council would pay for all necessary aspects of the funeral. This is a pauper burial
-
Its proper grave yard records

Do you mean you are looking for where somebody is buried?
If so - what was the persons name - when did they die and where?

Hi
I'll ask the moderator to move your post to the Lanarkshire board
-
Have you tried https://www.deceasedonline.com/
Or emailing the local council's cemetery dept,or googling to see if there are any relevant churches on that area,if they have an email address you could check to see if she's buried there.
Her name would be useful,then if anyone has relevant burial records they may find her for you.

Her name was Elizabeth Mulvey born 1884 died 1953...
-
The above website is showing one match to her name and death year but there was an Elizabeth J Mulvey died in Hartlepool in 1953 so it may possibly be the wrong one
Have you downloaded a copy of her death cert from Scotlands People as it will tell you her address at the time of death which may help with burial info

The only other thing I have at the moment is that she died in the Eastern District Hospital, the Funeral Director was Jack Seenan of Glasgow c.5. Ithink her last known Address was 67 Commercial rd.
thanks

Jack Seenan funeral directors are still in operation- write or ring them and see if they have the old records.

Oh that's a shame.
Have you looked at the burial info here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,510660.0.html
Sounds like there are quite a few possible graveyards in the area.
Good luck.

Hi all, here in the town i was born in Stockton on Tees north east England 2-3 years ago i went in search of my 2x gt grandparents James Casey & Mary Ann Casey, they were buried as paupers in 1895 & 1899, realy sad thing was they were not placed together but close, the one good thing the powers that be did was to record the row & in what part of the cemetery, so i was able to visit both, did this not happen in Scotland, my 3x gt grandparents were Bernard & Elizabeth Casey,
he died 1856 she in 1882, both buried as paupers, i believe they were buried in St Peters, Dalbeth,
i was hoping a number would exist showing where they were buried ???
All the best Derek

Ho my name is Helen Tervit I'm trying to find out where my great gran is buried she died in Hamilton in 1966 I phoned all the cemeteries and they can't find it her name was Sarah downie 15 glebe st Hamilton it might be s paupers grave how do I find that ???
-
Hi Helen and welcome to Rootschat. I can't help with that one but was just picking up on the Tervit name. Mt 3xG grandfather's sister Marion was married to a farmer John Tervit. He died in 1855 and is buried in Carnwarth. If you do find out he is related I have a photo of that grave.
