Title: What would be most likely Cemetery buried in
Post by: ailsac on Sunday 22 February 15 05:52 GMT (UK)

Hi I have family that lived at 3 Carlton Terrace, Millburn Road, Inverness - Daughter Beatrice Maude Innes died in 1915, and parents James Innes died in 1943 and wife Annie Innes nee Smith died in 1934. All living at the same address since the 1911 Census.
Can anyone help in knowing what would be the most likely cemetery that they would be buried in so that I can try and find their burial details.  - I have all death certificates
Many thanks in advance.

thanks I had not seen that, but just tried to contact the council but their on line form will not accept overseas details, so just hope they read and reply with the details I put in the actual message part. Had to tick anonymous as would not accept anything I keyed in - no provision for any inquiry via email if you are out of the country. Lets hope they can reply.

and the only thing that I can find is a record for an Ann Smith, death 1934, burial ay Moy Churchyard.
No sign of Beatrice or James.

Thanks Malky
At least this something to follow up on. I know women retained their maiden names and the date is right. Will see if I get a reply to my email to the Council, though that was difficult as it would not accept my overseas details, but hopefully they will respond or anyone else.
thanks for looking, that is a good site that I had not known about before today.
regards Ailsa

Thank you so much for this Ghostwhisperer - that is the family. the James Innes is brother to my GG Grandfather and I have been following up on bits and pieces about him. Got his Army service record the other day from FindMyPast in which he joined up in 1881 and retired from the army in 1907 - went to India for just on 5yrs as well. Wonderful stuff to read, so knowing where they are buried is great. Will see now if I can get a photo of the headstone arranged.

Really appreciate the help from these lists.
