Lanarkshire / Dressed Ground
« on: Wednesday 29 May 24 18:12 BST (UK)  »
I am looking up burial records at Sandymount cemetery in Glasgow.
In final column most say nothing others say common ground and others dressed ground.
Can anyone advise what is meant by dressed ground and would that lair be purchased for a family ?

I notice that lair 2865 had a burial on 17th June 1847 of a Helen Aitkenhead daughter of John Aitkenhead a Virtualler  of 137 Trongate, Glasgow. She was 6 months old.
Hope that helps if you haven’t already found it.
Looks like the lair would have been bought around 1847 too.

On 12th May 1848 the son of Robert Hunter, Flesher of 232 Gallowgate was interred in lair 2865 owned by John Aitkenhead. Aged 1 year, 8 months

On 26th October 1848 32 year old Agnes Aitkenhead of 2 McNeil street, Calton was buried due to decline.  Lair owned by John

Thank you that makes sense, do you think the other could be Gortgran ? Maybe just an older spelling ?

Seen some great results to requests for help on photographs. This is the only known picture of my great grandparents and looking to see what magic can be done by the experts in this field. All efforts appreciated.
