Title: Lair records for Catrine Churchyard
Post by: motherhen on Monday 11 June 18 15:31 BST (UK)

Hi Everyone
Would someone be able to tell me who I should contact re the lair records for Catrine Churchyard? I have a picture of a gravestone from there which has two names I can't seem to find anything about. I think they will have died as infants but can't find them in the OPRS.

Many thanks

Diana

You need to contact East Ayrshire Council BereavementServices@east-ayrshire.gov.uk with any names and dates on the stone.  If the burial book exists they will have it and be able to tell you lays in there.  However, it might just say infant/child as many were recoded that way.
