Thank you Garry. Are you there normal working hours? Is there an office there? Really appreciate all your help. Regards Sheenayep, 8 till 4, and I am based in pennyfuir, we keep records at the cemetery.
Do you know if it is possible to get a lair map of Pennyfuir in order to find the grave when we get there? Thank you, Regards Sheenawe have a map in the cemetery, if you ask for me when you get there I can show you,or any of the guys that work there will be able to help. Garry.
Thank you very much Garry, Oban TEC show no records of a James Hannah being buried inPennyfuir in 1944 and neither do the online records for Pennyfuir.I have checked my books and the 30th was the day of the burial not the date of death, I'm glad I've been able to help you. Garry.
It's entirely possible that this is the James Hannah that I am looking for as his official records show he died in the hospital on the 26th of March and the death registered on the 27th of March, as it was a poor burial it may well be that it was recorded on the day of burial itself.
To let you know how helpful this has been to me it's because when James Hannah died he left three young children orphaned as his wife died in 1941. That's why it would have been a "Poor's" grave. Of the three children only one still survives and he has never know where his mother or father were laid to rest, I have already found his mother but this information will complete a family chapter and enable his details to be added to his family tree. Thank you so much, Kind Regards, Sheena.
I only joined Rootschat yesterday so thought the (*) was a Rootschats way of emailing :-). Thank you Monica and thank you Garry, I don't think the person I am seeking is in Pennyfuir but his son thinks he is so I am trying to rule it out. His name is James Hannah, born c1882, died aged 60 at Dalintart Hospital Oban on 26th March 1944. Oban TEC Services only hold records from 1945 onwards, so he could be buried anywhere in Oban or even Strontian or Ardgour perhaps even sent home to his birthplace of Wigtownshire. Any help would be appreciated, I've been searching online burial records for over three months now. Kind Regards, Sheena.hi Sheena our records show a James Hannah age 60, died 30th March 1944, buried in pennyfuir cemetery section D lair 278, the grave is unmarked as he is buried in the "poors" ground, this is an area of the cemetery where graves were not purchased. Garry.
