I don't think so.

Sorry for the late reply, thanks Crisane and forfarian.
Just started back onto this tree, my 3xGr grandfather Aulay Mathieson born (McMath) Campbeltown.
I think the 1861c for Grace should be the 1871c as they did not marry until 20th Feb 1863 in Greenock,
So Aulay Mathieson was living with pos son in law Duncan Mcrae,
also I believe that the shop was through his first wife's family of Catherine WEIR, 1825 -1862.
as there is a Alexander and Catherine Weir, po brother and sil living 3 doors down a shoemaker at 59 George Street, Stranraer Wigtownshire on 1871c. Now looking for where are they buried?

Now looking for where are they buried?
Have you got dates and places of death from their death certificates?
-
Sorry Forfarian, I can't remember where I found this.
I have not sent for death certs yet.
Surname Forename Age at Mother's Maidan Year Ref RD Name
death Name
Maitheson Grace 56 McClumpha 1886 899/36 Stranraer
Maitheson Aulay 78 McHardy 1887 899/35 Stranraer.
might have been from a familyserch tree?
would the REF give us a burial place
regards Trevor.

That is a start - presumably they are likely to be buried in Stranraer or nearby.
The death certificates will not tell you the place of burial. For that you need to ask the local council who manage the cemeteries.
Search online for Stranraer cemeteries.
You don't have to 'send for' certificates. You can view them online at modest cost at www.scotlandpeople.gov.uk

Thanks Forfarian,
I will search online for Stranraer cemeteries and see what turns up.
If there is anybody on here that knows the area, please let me know.
regards Trevor

Hi,
i know the area pretty well as my ancestors came from Stranraer and the surrounding area
The majority who lived in Stranraer its self were buried in the Glebe Cemetery .
I have asked a friend who lives there for the email address and phone number of the cemeteries department and will let you know as soon as possible.

Hi ,
My friend hasn't been to well so I phoned Dumfries and Galloway Council on your behalf
They are aways busy with enquiries from people trying to find where their ancestors are buried so it could be some time before I hear anything.
I have given them the dates of both Aulay and his wife Grace and they will eventually get back to me.
I have the Memorial Inscriptions for Cairnryan, Kirkcolm and Leswalt unfortunately they are not in them.
I 'll get back to you as soon as I hear anything
