Garry, complete superstar you have been on this. I have been reading this thread since it started.

Monica  :)

I agree and as there is no record of the burial in Perth's offices, it would have been impossible without Garry and of course Rootschat!

Okay thank you again, will ask for you when we get there. Regards Sheena

Thank you so much Garry for coming to meet us at Pennyfuir on your day off! and for showing us the location of the grave, Uncle Jimmy went last weekend to visit his fathers grave for the first time, he was very impressed with how well the cemetery is kept and very happy indeed to have found his father at last. Thank you for all the time and effort that you went to on our behalf.

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.

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.
