Szac, may I accept your kind offer?
I am searching for the resting place of John McCREADIE (b. 13 July 1848, Ballantrae d. 02 Aug 1879).
At 9PM, 02 Aug 1879, John died on board Ayr Harbour No. 1 tug boat, crushed to death under the lever of the (steam) engine. He and his family, widow Margaret (m.s. NELSON) and three children (Jane, Isabella and John), were living at 8 Allison Street, Newton [now Newton-on-Ayr].
I am unable to locate his burial; Ayr or Ballantrae. The practice of the time was burial in the Parish of Birth, in this instance Ballantrae.
