Allenvale Cemetery ?
« on: Thursday 21 June 07 14:36 BST (UK) »
Can anyone please tell me where Allenvale Cemetery is? Do you know if it can be checked on line?
I am looking for details of a James Saint Jnr, who is buried there.
According to the Shore Porters book, His headstone is one of the largest pieces of Victorian extravaganza in the cemetery.
James Saint Jnr had drapers shops 171-173 Union street Aberdeen and warehouses in bridge street and woolmanshill.
I would like to find this grave to record any details of relatives hopefully mentioned on it.
                     regards Yonder

Allenvale cemetery as far as i know is the one on Riverside Drive on the banks of the Dee. HUGE memorials in there of VERY famous people...all the most important ones are lined along the river.

Aberdeen City Council Environmental Services
Dept., St. Nicholas House, Braod Street, Aberdeen, Scotland AB10 1BX

If you contact them with the actual date of death & name of your ancestor and any other relevant information, they perhaps will send you a map marking the location of the grave .

I have found that they are most helpful.
They might even be able to give you any other names on the gravestone.
