Thanks, Lora, for checking for Janet's headstone in Cathcart!  The cemetery does seem to be a bit of a mess in that section.  I may be in Glasgow this summer, and perhaps I'll try to track down the tombs of Janet and her son Thomas and Thomas' wife Catherine.

regards,
Bruce Cockburn (of Edmonton, Canada)

My great-grandmother, Mrs. Janet Bryson Kennedy Cockburn, was apparently buried in August 1919 in Cathcart Cemetery, in section M, (row 1?), lair 162.  Her son, my grandfather, Thomas Kennedy Cockburn, may have been buried nearby in April 1961.  As I live in Canada, I would very much appreciate it if somebody could confirm Janet's burial.  Ideally, it would be great to see a photo of her headstone as well as that of her son Tom.

Janet was president of the Central Branch chapter the British Women's Temperance Association in Glasgow as well as the movement for women's suffrage.  She apparently was a member of delegation that went to meet with P.M. Lloyd George in London.

Thanks in advance!
Bruce
