St Quivox Churchyard
« on: Thursday 21 February 08 12:35 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone please tell me where I can find out where a plot is in the churchyard from 1855? I'm not sure who to contact.
Thanks Sue

South Ayrshire Council have a section on their Cemeteries & also a photo of St Quivox Churchyard. The link is:-

St_Quivox_Churchyard2_jpg.htm

They will probably point you in the right direction if nothing else.........& Rgds.

I have records showing some of the Monumental inscriptions of the St Quivox churchyard and a plan of the churchyard  ..... although it is likely that the plan and numbering system used don't correspond to the official lair numbers I can check

The name is John Storrie or Storey as it is spelt on his death certificate. He was 16yrs old & it states on his death certificate on 15th February 1855 that he was buried in St Quivox Church yard as certified by John Ferguson Grave Digger.
 Many Thanks

Sorry, no Storrie or Storie (or variants) in the lists ..... there are several lairs without headstones and for which no details were known at the time of compilation.

Thank you for looking anyway.
I'll perhaps get in touch with Ayrshire council as there must be some records held for burials.

Regards Sue
