Title: John Menzie buried in Baillie's Lair St David's Glasgow
Post by: DMHolden on Friday 15 May 20 15:23 BST (UK)
I have found a burial for John Menzie aged 34 Tavern Keeper at the above graveyard in March 1840.  It says the burial comprised a hearse and two horses - I cannot find any more information on John, I wondered whether having a hearse and two horses would have been a fairly expensive funeral?  Would there be any more information available about this burial?  I am trying to either rule him out as a potential ancestor or confirm that he is!  If he is then he would have been married to Elizabeth nee Gardner.    Grateful for any advice !
