Hi,

I hope I am doing this the correct way as I was unsure what to do really.  Please, is anyone able to help me find the burial place of a Robert Young who died in 1838, he lived at Denny Loanhead.  His wife was Jane and she died some years after him, I am hoping they are buried together as I don't know her date of death.  Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Oswald,

I have a transcription of the Burial Records for Dennyloanhead Churchyard and there is a Robert Young listed.

Unfortunately, there is no date of death or burial for him, all that's listed is his name, he lived at (Denny)Loanhead, he was an Inn Keeper and the cause of his death was Apoplexy.

There is no Jane Young listed, but women were very often listed under their maiden names rather than married names.

The 'other' Youngs listed are:

Christian Young, died/was buried 6th March 1839, age 73, Residence: Milton, Cause of Death: Palsy
Helen Young, died/buried 27th September 1836, age 69, Residence: Broomridge, Cause of Death: Palsy
Isabella Young, died/buried 22nd December 1837, age 74, Residence: West Borland, No Cause of Death
Mary Young, died/buried 7th March 1844, age 70?, Residence: Milton, Cause of Death: Decay

No stones exist for them and the Church itself has been closed for a number of years - at present the building is up for sale.

Hi Anne,

Many thanks for your help, I am sure the Robert Young you found is the one I am looking for so that is great.  Unfortunately I have been unable to find a record of his death in Parish Records.  I will have to keep looking for his wife but thanks for checking.

The Falkirk Council has helped me locate the grave of my ggg grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Wands Stirling, in Denny Cemetery.  She is buried in Lair 417.  Also her nephew I think, James Stirling, is buried in Lair 419.  He died 2 February 1907.  Can anyone direct me to a source for inscriptions?  Hoping for some clues from their gravestones.  Thanks for any help.

Hello John

Welcome to Rootschat! 

I had a look here: http://www.memento-mori.co.uk/ but unfortunately neither names you're looking for are listed.

Maybe there weren't stones marking the graves?

Can be of help to you on this ... "your" Robt Young was my late father's gt.gt. grandfather, an innkeeper/vintner,  who had 2 wives. (my father descended from the 1st marriage to Christian Laing/Lang)   Said Robt Young when widowed  took 2nd wife, Jean(Jane) Hosie (Hossie) -- married her on Dec 19,1820, Denny area.  Robt. died on/before May 27, 1838.  His Will  discusses both wives & children by name.  [ Via 1st wife were  Robt Jr  (b.1802 & my ancestor) , Charles + daughters Christian & Mary.]  Via 2nd  wife were  James, Geo, Wm, Andrew + in Codocil to Will he adds  John b. 1836 - those names given by birth order.   Believe Andrew migrated to Australia before 1854?  Do you descend  from him?
Existing Scottish records, show Jane/Jean Hosie/Young  died age 79, Oct 18.1879, & had then resided with son  James, at Craigmellan, Albert Road, Pollokshields, in Dist of Kinning(?), in County of Lanark.....   [Her parents were  James Hosie/Hossie, a master mason of Knowhead (Aberdeensh?) and James' wife Jane Hosie     This 2nd wife of Robt, in census 1841 turns up recorded as   Jane Young - innkeeper @ Loanhead - living with son Geo aged 15 + 2 hired help named Buchanan and Stevenson.
Unfortunately am absolutely stuck on Robert Young's details over his parents & where he born  or names of his siblings.   My late father was born 1908 in Scotland, but he & his siblings now all gone - a lot of ancient letters & documents seen when I was a child but long gone now.
Am trying to trace Robert Young, innkeeper but cannot find much before birth of his son Robert in 1802, via 1st wife Christian Laing.  Given this ancestor of my side, born 1802,
likely "your/my" Robert Young was married the first time around 1800, so his birthdate
could be back around 1760-70-80, making him 20-40 years old at first marriage.
