George Alexander Robertson 1919-1996
« on: Wednesday 20 May 09 18:34 BST (UK) »
Hi All

I saw this gravestone memorial to the above named person in
Market Harborough Cemetery, Leics England today.

Hopefully it may belong to some here.

Please excuse me if I have posted on the wrong board, hopefully
a mod may put it in the correct place, if I have.

Thank you Sandy for that.
I think that if I am not mistaken, Helensburgh was in Dunbartonshire, at least according to Bartholomewīs map from 1890, so perhaps a moderator could do a flitting.

On a lighter note (than a gravestone), I remember well in my youth how much a good  friend of mine and myself enjoyed shortening Helensburgh to "Hel" when in the area, just to tease his mother, an upright ministerīs wife.
We didnīt dare however if the dog collar himself was present!

Guid hunting,
