Hi Ann, I think the David Andersons grave stone you have photographed may be one of my relatives.My David Anderson was one of 11 children and at one point had a grocers shop with his brother James Anderson [Anderson public park Bonnybridge]He was married to Catherine Graham who died shortly after giving birth to their son Charles.Davids brother Alexander a baker is my Great grandfather their parents were William Anderson and Hellen Miller and they lived at East Borland. I have located James Andersons grave stone and also William and Hellens, and would be grateful if you come across any more Andersons in Denny  thanks,Billy.

Hi Billy,

Do you live locally then?

If so, you'll know that Denny Cemetery if quite large.

So far, I've found 182 Andersons all buried there and obviously that doesn't include the graves which are there, but have no stones.

Is there anyone in particular you're looking for? Let me know and I'll have a rake through what I've got.

Was this the stone you found?

Hi Billy,

Give me a couple of days and I'll see if I can match up your names with any of the photos I've got. I don't have Lair Numbers for any of them though.

Could you PM me with your personal e-mail address as it would be much easier to send on info that way rather than post it on here.

Anne.

P.S. I'm not related to Stirlingshire Andersons, just a co-incidence that I share the same surname!

Hi Anne, thanks for going to the trouble of sorting out the photos of the Denny Andersons there is no urgency just when and if you get a chance.I will be in Scotland for three weeks in July and it would be good to have a donder round Denny, tell me does the rabbits still out number the grave stones! you can e-mail me at (*) , thanks again Billy

Hi Billy,

Yes, the rabbits probably still do out-number the stones! It's a real haven for wildlife although when the new Denny High School is built at the back (in Herbertshire Playing Fields), I kinda hope that its not a haven for a new kind of wild life!

I'll PM you with my e-mail - Go to the very top of the page and you'll see "Welcome back - you have XX messages" just click on it and you will access any Private Messages.

Hello Nigel, I think your G- grandfather David Anderson and my G- Grandfather  Alexander Anderson were brothers There parents were William Anderson and Hellen Miller 11 children in total. David was in the grocery business with his brother James at one point then set up on his own. Davids wife was called Catherine Graham and died shortly after giving birth to there son Charles, do we have a connection, Billy Anderson

I've got a funny feeling the cemetery will be ruined when they open the new school.

Hi Billy
Yes we are related but I'm not Nigel who you sent the message too. I'm Anderson and I have sent you all our connections but still waiting for yours.
