Hi Carol,
did you find out anything more about this? If not I can ask my daughter who started a project to photograph and transcribe all the gravestones in Perth. She had done some of Greyfriar's but not all.... Not all burials have gravestones...lots of the gravestones are very degraded and cannot be read.

Hello,
     Found likely burial for Louise Cameron on the Perth Burgh Burial Register by typing in just surname and year. There are 7 burials for Cameron in 1816, including No: 36264 dated 30th September. Details include Notes: "No forename given for deceased, only designation Widow"
     Not clear if there is a headstone or not.
               Regards,     Dod.

Hi Carol,
I went to the Perth Library and checked the Pre-1855 MI's book for Greyfriars Burying Ground but unfortunately could not find any reference to either William Cameron or his wife Louise.
