Hi, I need help please.
I’ve been trying to track down my step-gran Mary Whitelaw Lapinski’s final resting place. She passed on 19 March 1957 at Belvidere Hospital, Parkhead, Glasgow, at age 30.
Her usual residence was 36 Prosen St., Tollcross, Glasgow. This was her parents’ house. Her parents were William McMillan Williamson and Mary Whitelaw.
I’ve checked Tollcross Cemetery, St Peter’s Cemetery, Riddrie Cemetery (my grandad’s family are buried), Sandymount Cemetery (my grandad’s family are also buried here), and thr Southern (near her brother’s home, who was the informant on her death certificate) and Eastern Necropolises. So far, I haven’t found her or even her parents. The family stayed at 708 Springfield Road, Glasgow, until c. 1945.

No, I searched the burial registers for Tollcross Cemetery, St Peter's Cemetery, Riddrie Cemetery, Sandymount Cemetery, and the Southern and Eastern Necropolises.
I've double checked the registers to no avail.
I rechecked the registers for any sign of her parents, once again to no avail.

I believe her husband was a Catholic, but she appears to have been a Protestant. They married in a Protestant service.
I checked St Kentigern’s and St Peter’s cemeteries.
