Title: Burial in Rothesay
Post by: specialkg on Thursday 17 October 24 08:31 BST (UK)

I am trying to locate a grave in Rothesay. On Find a Grave it indicates that relatives were buried in Rothesay Cemetery. The name is John Gray who died 19th October 1988 and wife Margaret Reid who died 3rd October 1991.

If anyone is familiar with the cemetery I was hoping to locate a grave stone or newspaper entry.

Thanks
Betty

You can request a photo on findagrave. You have to register first

The local newspaper was The Buteman which has since ceased publication. Unfortunately not all dates are covered in the newspaper archive and there does not appear to be an entry for either John or Margaret.
Findagrave does indicate that John is buried in the Cemetery located in Townhead Rothesay.

Unfortunately on findagrave there are currently 32 open photograph requests for this cemetery which have yet to be fulfilled.
