Hi Rosinish,

It seems that the Perth - Edinburgh line of the London and North Eastern Railway ran over a Benarty Bridge in the 1930's when this particular incident occurred.

Cheers.

I’ve been searching for some time for information about a Robert Munro, wrongly transcribed as Morro in Scotland’s People.

Robert Munro married Catherine Donaldson in Alloa in 1817.

In the 1841 census Robert Munro and family, minus wife Catherine, are recorded living in the New Entry, Alloa.   Looking through old maps of Alloa, I have been unable to pinpoint the exact location of this place.

Again, in the 1841 census, Robert Munro’s occupation was a Sheriff Officer.  Curiously, his place of birth is recorded as ‘Foreign’ so this presents another bigger challenge.
     
I can’t find him in the 1851 census so will have to presume he died or moved elsewhere but would be grateful for any suggestions.

Jim

Reiver,

I presume 1825 was when the lair/lairs were purchased. Your number 1821 is actually 221 and appears to be the lair number.

This information is contained in a small booklet entitled Clackmannanshire monumental inscriptions.

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for the very quick reply.  This lady, who died years before I was born, was the grandmother I never knew.  I'm pleased to know where she is buried.

Thanks again,
Jim.

There were three places designated for burials very close to the house of Tobias Bauchop;  Greenside Cemetery,  Alloa Churchyard and Alloa Cemetery, which is adjacent to the Old Churchyard.  All are now closed for burials and have been for some considerable time.

It would appear there are Bauchops buried in Clackmannanshire but very few names are legible on the older headstones.   There are over 50 Bauchop registered deaths in this county from 1866 to 2013.

Tullibody Churchyard: (248) (I presume this is the lair) 1827 John Archibald; Margaret  Bauchop;  Coalkers;  (on back) plough.

Reiver and landji.  I think this is yours.
