Title: Helen Mary Drynan (née Smith) burial.
Post by: Macharskin on Saturday 08 May 21 14:22 BST (UK)

Helen died 27 Sep 1861 at Newton Stewart and I'm wondering in which of the cemeteries she would have been interred. She was living in Main Street earlier in the year. Clachan and the Old Kirkyard seem the options but there is some overlap in dates covered.

Thank you so much for that information. Hopefully I will be able to find the lair when I visit later in the year.  :)

Helen's husband Andrew eventually joined the 3 of their sons who emigrated to Sewickley, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, USA where he died in 1881.

Thanks again. M.
