Hoping someone can help me. I'm in Australia and am trying to find the grave of Ann Eldred BAINE who is buried in Greyfriars, If anyone can please help me get details re location and a photo of the headstone as I haven't found any records anywhere online.
Her name was
Ann "ELDRED" BAINE
wife of Bernard BAINE (surgeon, London)
and mother of Ann BAINE
she died 8 Jul 1789.
and her daughter Ann died 17 Aug 1792.
She also had a daughter Mary ROSE who had married a Forrester ROSE in 1793, but I have been unable to find her anywhere except that I know this daugher died 1795 (mentioned in Scotlands People old Parish registers (Edinburgh) - has name spelt on Scotlands People as BAIN (but I think this is typo as all other records point to BAINE.
Thanks in advance for any offers of help.

I recollect being in the church a few years ago and they had a book, or books, that listed all the burials.. These sorts of lists can be more detailed than what is found in Scotland's people. In another Edinburgh church I found details of several previously unknown ancestors buried in unmarked graves.

Try https://www.gravestonephotos.com/index.php where there is a listing etc.

Do you mean that Mary Rose Ba(i)n(e) married Forrester Rose, or that Mary Ba(i)n(e) married Forrester Rose?
has name spelt on Scotlands People as BAIN (but I think this is typo as all other records point to BAINE.
Far more likely that that was how the original clerk recorded it. Don't read anything into variant spellings - at that time spelling was how the person recording the information thought it ought to be spelled on the day.

A quick search of "The Epitaphs and Monumental Inscriptions of Greyfriars Churchyard in Edinburgh" compiled by James Brown (1867) told me the grave is in Division 9.
I stopped by this morning and found the grave within 2 minutes . . . .

A wider view of the grave:

I am really confused now as if Mary Rose was buried 1795 age 40 wouldn't she be born c 1755?
And who is Mary Bedingfield buried 17 May 1828 Catsfield, Sussex age 34 (1794)?
Surely she is the Mary Rose witness to the 1815 Marriage in Sussex.
