LOL.

Oh dear!  I've just reduced the number of potential candidates for who momento-mori is, to just under 50% of the population.

Assuming 'she' lives in Scotland, that's about 2.5 million.

Sorry if I've given the game away.

 :P

We're making it sound as though the identity of momento.mori is a huge secret but it's not. 

I think anonymity is preferred so that enquiries go through momento-mori rather than directly.


Janice, regardless of where you get your info, I'd be interested as to how you get on.  Particularly if you get a positive result, as it is useful to know to pass on to others.

Agreed.
I can't enthuse enough about how helpful and useful the site is.

It's just that Sighthill is not the easiest cemetery to search and a bit away from m-ms usual haunting grounds (pun intended).

Good one though!  MM does seem to rise to a good challenge very well with a great deal of knowledge and expertise. I still can't thank MM enough nor can my Mum whose cause started all of this back in November 2008 and then into Jan/Feb this year. Thank you

For Rena,  there are Crum's buried in the Ramshorn Kirkyard in Ingram Street, I remember noting  a stone there as there is a shop of that name in the High Street......Skoosh.

Hi Billy,

Sorry I haven't responded before now but it was only by chance that I saw this thread again on the "Welcome" page.

Thanks for taking the trouble and time to tell me about the Crum family of Thornliebank.  I haven't managed to find a link to that family but I haven't run out of possibilities - yet  :)

Cheers,
Rena
