West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / West Calder Burials / Cremations in 1870
« on: Wednesday 03 June 20 22:52 BST (UK) »
Hello All
I have been trying to locate a burial record for my third great-grandfather James Andrew. I have a copy of his death certificate and I know he died in West Calder on November 4th 1870 and his profession was recorded as a Pitheadman.
I have tried to locate a burial record through various online resources, but with no luck. I also live in West Calder and I have manually searched the local cemetery with no results.
I suppose the main question I have is: What burial/cremation options were available to someone with the profession Pitmanhead in West Calder (or even West Lothian) in 1870?
Were there burials and/or cremations that went un-recorded at this time?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Craig
