Dailly and Loudoun Burials

[nkbauer]

Hello,
I came across this thread for the first time today. Are you still doing lookups? If so, would you please check for the Currie name.
Kind regards, Nan

Hi Nan,

Old Dailly:

"Here lys the body of John Murray d 18 apr 1788 aged 94. Also Janet Hannay spouse to James Curries d 22 jan 1803 in the 32 yr of her age"

"In memory of Margaret Grant wife of Davis Currie Girvan d 28 apr 1875 age 59. also her dau Annie d 5 dec 1854 aged 4. Also her son James d 17 mar 1883 aged 24 yr. Also the above David Currie d 13 dec 1891 aged 77 yr."

Hi Junev,
Thanks for doing those lookups on the Curries. The people you found are not in my direct line but I bet they will fit in somewhere as I  continue my research. The name James occurs in every family of every generation. There are some Davids as well. I wonder if there are any Curries in the Loudoun cemeteries. Charles and Helen Currie died in Loudoun in 1881 and 1875 respectively. Are Dailly and Loudoun very far apart?
Kindest regards,
Nan

Hi Nan,
There is a MI at Kaimshill Cemetery, Riccarton that might be your family. There are many names listed, not all of whom appear to be buried in that cemetery. I find the abbreviations in the book a bit difficult to follow but I will quote the part that I think might be of interest to you and, if it is your family, I will try harder to decipher it.

"Charles C died 24, 11, 1922 at 85 years  mother Helen Gebbie died 16, 3, 1875 at 74 years; father Charles Currie, Blacksmith,  died 8, 3, 1881 at 79 years, interred in Galston cemetery --- then   mo-in-law Margaret Leggat and fa-in-law George Brown, gardener -- interred Riccarton Churchyard"

Let me know and I will look into it further.

Hello Ian,
Yes that is my family's MI in Riccarton. I can't believe that I failed to transfer Charles Sr's burial place to my records. Apologies to Junev, you Ian and maybe others for having you look up information that I had (but had forgotten).
Kind regards, Nan

I have downloaded a death certificate for someone who may be my GGGG grandfather. Robert Scott died 17 May 1856 in Wilson Stret Girvan and is listed as a widower. My Robert Scott was married to Jean/Jane Garey according to their daughter's death certificate. The death certificate states that he was buried in Dailly Churchard. Is there any record of an MI transcription or of any lair information?

Thank you
