Australia Lookups completed / Re: COMPLETED THANKS BMD lookup please Victoria, Aust. please.

Hello folks.

I have no link to your family but whist researching something else I came across the burial record of a man with an unusual name in Glasgow,

Victor N Le Blond.

He was buried on the 13th March 1871 in Dalbeth Cemetery in Glasgow aged 80. He died of old age and was the lair owner.

The lair is Section 7 Central Division Lair 235. I can email the original if someone contacts me by pm

I'm 99% certain that there is no headstone.

Gloucestershire / Peter McGonagle of Celtic died 1956
« on: Friday 18 February 11 12:12 GMT (UK)  »
William "Peter" McGonagle of Celtic Football Club died 1956 in Cheltenham.

He had a son named Peter too who was a successful Water Polo international.

I can't see his death on the BMD index but know that it was on 20th December 1956.

Any pointers as to where he may be buried?

Thanks

That would be great Anne.

It really is an attempt to pin down the exact boundaries of the older sections which are problematical as the newer sections are mostly clearly defined.

I've located Section 7C which is in the middle of the "old" part of St Peters just to the left of the new burials in section 3B.

Section 3a runs alongside the full length of the burn from the cemetery office to the end of the central section.

We have also established that section 1 Central runs all the way along the dividing wall.

Anne if you post a blank of your aerial photo I'll put on what information we have from the Celtic Graves Society.

I couldn't see much evidence of burials in the trees by the clyde in your section x but sadly came across quite a few dumped headstone (from the 30's onwards)

Anne

We have plotted about 30 graves in the cemetery so we are more than happy to contribute to the aerial map in identifying the exact layout.

Some of the Central division we believe (Section 1) is right up by the wall by the toilets. I'll post a further update

Thanks Anne

Are there any surviving headstones down there by the Clyde?

Thanks for the map. Slightly confused though. I have Section 3 down by the burn rather than where it is by Old Dalbeth on the aerial shot.

That Section 7 on the right hand side over the wall has a significant number of new graves. I'm looking for a grave in Section 7 that was opened in 1871.

Would this mean three section 7's West ,Central and East

And the Central Division you've marked Anne, it's a mess right?

Gerry I've finally managed to track down a lair number/

I'm looking for the location of Section 7 C (central)

I now know the exact location of section 7 (West) but am wondering if Section 7 C is in Old Dalbeth. The lair in question was opened in 1871.

Lanarkshire / Re: Davie Hamilton - played for Celtic !
« on: Tuesday 18 January 11 19:20 GMT (UK)  »
We have been trying to find out the occupants of Davie's lair and had confirmation from the archdiocese today that Section 15 - Lair 1819 was bought by David on 7/8/1915 which was the day of Mary's Funeral.  In those days The Archdiocese's offices for Dalbeth were within the Cemetery itself and that tended to be the way things were done.

So Mary Ann and Davie rest in the same lair.
