Argyllshire / Re: Kilmun Burials - Help
« on: Tuesday 05 June 12 07:28 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the graves of my great grandmother - KERR, Charlotte Campbell nee Grandison  (death registered in Dunoon on 7th November, 1932 and my great Aunt - KERR, Anne Victoria Colquhoun (death registered in Dunoon on 16th July, 1982)

My great Aunt (and her 2 sisters Elanor and Charlotte - all retired school teachers) lived in a house called "Ferngrove" in KILMUN for their retirement, and as their deaths were registered in Dunoon, I have to believe they are buried in Kilmun or close to it.

I am leaving Australia in 2 weeks to travel to Kilmun to see if I can find their gravesites - to date I have tried the Argyll Bute Council, they don't have cemetery records, and my system is having problems downloading anything from ScotlandsPeople.  Has anyone any advice on how I can find out for me - really would be appreciated.
