Hi again Gerry

Just further to my posts, the baby I found in the Welsh grave was Richard Waters grandson of the Richard who was killed in 1857 that is why I thought that I had found him when I saw the burial of the baby.  The mother was maiden name of Welsh.

The interment for my Richard Waters died in 1857 has inaccuracies in it.  He is found named as Robert Haters and it also says under location Private Ground.  Usually that means a common grave which I find a bit odd as a stone was definitely ordered by Tod McGregor.

As I said any help would be gratefully recieved.  I had a Brian Farrell in my class at SMA in 1963 by the way...Martin

Hi Gerry, Thanks for the reply.  I manged to tie the lair to the name of Welsh eventually and on the 1891 page I also found a James Farrell died 1891 25 November aged 11 and he is in 351 WS in case he is one of yours.

The Waters I had hoped to be able to find is my GG Grandfather Richard Waters he died in 1857 after a fall from a ship being built in Tod McGregor's Partick yard and they paid for the funeral......including a stone.

Here is what I got from University of Glasgow holdings of Wylie and Lochhead Undertakers.  It must have been a swanky affair and this for a man who was at the very lowest end of the social scale.

The burial entry in the Dalbeth register has a very limited amount of information as you will know being carried out in 1857.  The entry has his condition as Kil'd.......Anything come to mind about where he might be interred?....Any help gratefully received...Martin

Thank you for your enquiry about Richard Waters and the records of Wylie & Lochhead Funeral Directors.
I have checked the records and found the following information that I hope is useful to you:
Date Wylie & Lochhead informed of death: 30th December 1857

Coffin size: 6 feet

Hi and I am trying to contact Gerry Farrell.  I have a family line buried in Old Dalbeth and due to a late r burial for a Richard Waters born and died in 1883 aged just 14 days I have a Lair number which is shown as 474/541 W S.  I assume that the grave itself is situated at ''541 West?'', but hope that someone can confirm this.  There should be a stone on it........but it may have disappeared by now.  I hope this posting will find Gerry Farrell.  I see from his superb photos that the trees have been removed, but is it safe to wander about in it yet?  Thanks for any help halliganm
