S'cuse me sticking my neb in . . . .

Dave - Section 2F looks as if it'll be easy enough to find and once you get there, have a wee look at the bases of some of the stones. You quite often get the lair number inscribed in wee tiny letters at one side. Might not be on every stone but if you find two or three, just work out the way you think the stones will be set out.

If all else fails and you see a cooncil worker or van or a monumental mason doing a bit of tidying up, just ask! Always works a treat for me.

Anne  ;)

YOU?  NEB?  NEVER!

You know Anne,  there were too guys cleaning a stone with a burner when I was there and I even passed the time of day with them.  At no point did it cross my mind to ask them whether they knew the layout.  How dumb was that.  Lesson learned.

Charlotte, maybe you could put your post on the Fife board.  Someone there might have the MI for the cemetery you're interested in.

Dave,
Good idea and thanks for your interest but I am still curious about what this Bereavement Service is! And it's curiosity that is at the core of family history.. at least in my case.

So... can someone tell me please about the Bereavemnt Services?

Thanks,
charlotte

Hope you get a result Charlotte,
I'll be interested in any result you get.
Still think you'll get a better, more informative result, on the Fife board.
Dave
Good luck.  :)

Hi there!
I am new to this site; however I have been looking for information concerning my husband's ggg grandfather - Solomon Lindsay who started a paper mill in Cathcart in 1812.  I believe he and his wife Elizabeth (Lyon) are buried in the Cathcart cemetry. . . . Can anyone help with information about Solomon and his family???
Many Thanks

Hi,
I am hoping you, or someone else, still live within walking distance of the Cathcart cemetery!  I am after info about my uncle, John Forrester Miller, who died in 1923 from wounds received during WWI, aged 26.  I understand he is buried in Cathcart cemetery but can't find his name on the lists of military graves in this cemetery.  He spent the years between end of the war and his death in Bellhouston war hospital.  Both myself and other antipodean relatives would appreciate any help you could give us. :)
