Hello all,

Would anyone be able to look up a death in Falkirk for me?

I am looking, and have been for ages for the death of James Colvin, Merchant in Calcutta born c.1778. Haddingtonshire. I have him living in Falkirk in 1818 when his daughter Mary/Maria Colvin married a Thomas Gibb but after that I lose all trace.

I have been stuck on James for AGES so any help would be greatly appreciated

So I was taking pictures of some moody graves today and came across the Tombstone of Grizzel Prop and thought it a curious name. Came across this thread and decided to drop today's pictures in here just in case they are of use. The Colvin's from what I can tell are buried in the old almost exclusive part of the cemetery, so they obviously had money.

Excuse the black and white photographs ( it's my style ) But for what it's worth Old Grizzel's stone looks to have been visited in the last year or so given the decay of the roses.

I don't intend in hanging around here, you know, things to do and places to be but I'll check in every now and then.

Laters.
