I did actually put it on Find a grave, but don’t remember if I gave the full details. Will check that

I actually have the certificate with the lair details, JC lair 41. I think I still managed to look in the wrong place when I was there. 
Will have to go back next time I’m in Scotland and spend more time there. I was looking in the centre area and around the edges of the graveyard, didn’t have time to look at the graves on the slope at the back and I suspect that is exactly where I should have been looking 
If anyone who lives locally reads this thread then I’m looking for a stone erected by Marshall and Mary Garland for their children James Garland d. 7th June age 6, Margaret Jane d. 6th June 1903 age 12, Annie d. 7th Nov 1904 age 1. Marshall is also there d. 3rd Feb 1926 and his wife Mary Garland
d. 25th March 1941.

This post is exactly what I’ve been looking for; love the humor
I finally got round to visiting the cemetery this week and can happily report that my dad and I didn’t meet a single undesirable. We did however meet several friendly people out walking and enjoying the unusually sunny weather. We parked at the Our Lady of good aid school at 3pm just as the kids were getting out. The pathway behind the school isn’t difficult to find and it isn’t until several hundred meters further down into the trees that it becomes isolated. We crossed the little bridge over the Calder on the right hand side and then took the beautiful tree-lined pathway into the cemetery. What a beautiful, peaceful resting place the Globe is. I was looking for 5 family graves, but unfortunately didn’t find them. I did however enjoy the tranquillity of the setting and the thought of being close to where their final resting place is. I will upload the photos that I did take onto Find a grave and transcribe the ones that I can read.
