Sorry, turns out to be the wrong Helen Beattie.  My Helen was born in North Craigo, Angus, not far from Montrose, 1 month before the Helen in the 1921 census so I thought it was my relative.  I found out, with help, from a Montrose fb site that the Helen in the census was married to a James Beattie who was at sea at the time of the census. 

My grandaunt Helen was born illegitimate to James and Elizabeth (Alexander) Beattie, who married the following year, and was living and working with her mother's sister in Tarbert in 1901...that's the last I can find out about her.

Perhaps she married a man with the same surname?

That's a possibility.  The husband/father or whoever he is, is not in the census...just Helen and her 7-yr-old daughter Helen.

I was given a photo of her from a niece in 1987.  Her image had been cut out from whoever else was in the original photo, so the husband may have left her and she kept her maiden name as well as giving the adopted daughter her maiden name??

This is the last record I can find on her...she was in her 40th year in 1921.

Hi, I live in Canada but both sides of my family are from Scotland: Johnstone near Paisley, and the Montrose area on the other side. I know of 3rd gr grandparents buried in the Rosehill Cemetery in Montrose (3rd gr grandfather David Beattie died Jan 26, 1868 and was buried on Jan 29, 1868), but I have yet to find out who to contact re: a map for the burial sites for Rosehill. I got the burial register for David Beattie from Deceasedonline but, as others have stated, I wish there was a map to help locate the gravestones.  I think someone mentioned there was a fire which destroyed many records there.  There are, unfortunately, many burial records not found thru Deceasedonline.

Would be nice to have more Findagrave volunteers locate and/or photograph gravestones altho it's not always easy due to old stones covered in lichens or they're otherwise unreadable.
