Hi

not been into Dalbeth for a while, but if you ask a groundsman they will direct you to the right lair.

Failing that Sec 18 is clearly marked, and my 'trick' is to find a War grave closeby and work from there. So looking at the War Grave records:

Donald James McLeish, RASC is Sec 18, Lair 200
Alexander Owens, Royal Artillery is Sec 18, Lair 219

working from that I would pace out 47 paces to 266!

A lot of headstones have the lair numbers engraved on the base, so that helps as well.

Do hope that is claer and helps.

ps forgot to add, if you're not local I can nip down and have a look for you, need some more info though. Names, dates etc.

Davie thanks very much for that info and your much appreciated offer, very kind of you.
Fortunately I'll be in Glasgow shortly and plan visiting Dalbeth, my grandparents' and aunt's grave.
I will be able to find it now no bother thanks to your clear instructions - haven't visited since I was a wee boy 60+years ago.
Thanks again.

John

Yes the Australian records usually do give parents' names on their death records.

No sorry no idea about that either.

All I can give is a shot at his age in 1892 probably somewhere between 27 & 37.

He married my grandad's sister Magaret Currie 1892 in Leichhardt, Sydney and his children were Winifred, Rita (Margaret), Kathleen, Maurice, Teresa, Lucy and one other who died in infancy whose name I think was Alice - all born Sydney.

Thanks again

I'm sorry sancti I don't know either.

I'm chasing this on behalf of my 2nd cousin in Sydney who has recently lost her father so I don't want to disturb her just now.

Just thought I might touch something in someones head - bit of a long shot I know with such scant info.

Thanks for your help.

John
