Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Colne Times Obituary for Mrs. J. Pollitt
« on: Sunday 17 August 25 13:21 BST (UK)  »
I am bumping this message in the hope that some fresh eyes may be able to help.  After all these years, I still have not been able to obtain a clear copy of the obituary :(

William, I believe you are correct.  Very disappointing as Martha and her husband Robert have proved to be very elusive.  I have a lot of information about their children and grandchildren but virtually nothing about M and R themselves.

I recently received an Ancestry hint saying that this record set contained a record for the death of one of my ancestors, namely Martha Newberry.  What seemed odd was that the death was in 1857, i.e. after 1854.  There was an entry number (0376) and a film number (0280289) but I don't know what to do with this information.  I searched ScotlandsPeople but cannot find any record for a Martha Newberry dying in 1857.

Yes, the link got me to the right people.  Bereavement Services handles requests about Dunfermline Cemetery.  I had to jump through a few hoops (fill out a form, make a small payment), but this morning I received an email confirming that all the individuals mentioned on the headstone were indeed buried in two lairs in the cemetery.  I also received the burial dates, which was an added bonus.  Many thanks for your help.

It's the one on Halbeath Road.  For some reason, the cemetery is not mentioned in the link you provided. ???  FindAGrave does not have the headstone I am interested in.

Does anyone have an email address for Dunfermline Cemetery?  I have a headstone pic from the cemetery and am trying to find out if the individuals listed were actually buried in the cemetery or if some of them were simply memorialized, i.e. buried elsewhere.
I am in the US and was hoping to contact the cemetery quickly without resorting to snail mail. :)

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Headstone Photo, Omaka Cemetery

I'm kicking myself!  I normally check FindAGrave and BillionGraves in a case like this, but I never thought to do so because Susan's new headstone was erected so recently.  Can't believe FindAGrave had it.  Thank you so much for this.  Greatly appreciated.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Headstone Photo, Omaka Cemetery
« on: Monday 26 June 23 22:50 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone near Omaka Cemetery who would be so kind as to take a photo of Susan Finnimore Barron's headstone?  Susan died in 1924, and I was recently told that a new headstone had been erected, apparently because the old one was in very bad shape.  Online information gives the following information:  No. 3 Lawn, Block 6, Row 0, Plot Number 4.  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
