Photos of Kilbowie Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 10 November 09 14:26 GMT (UK) »
I live in Canada and I am looking for photos of the Kilbowie Cemetery - in particular Section B Lair 564 - my mother's sister Margaret Isabel Meffen, is buried there, she died May 20th 1928 at the age of 5 years.  It did not have a memorial marker so I'm not sure if there is a way to tell where she is.  So if someone is kind enough to have any pictures in there files or is taking a walk through Kilbowie, I would be very grateful if you would snap a photo for me.

I just recently enquired to see if my mothers mother was buried with her also, but West Dunbarton Bereavement Services confirmed, that Marisa is there alone.  We cannot find what happened to my mothers mother's ashes her name was Henrietta Agnes Meffen died May 5th 1952,  cremated at the Glasgow Crematorium and handled by the Cooperative Services they have confirmed that the ashes were picked up by a representative on May 9th 1952.  What happened to them after that is a mystery.  My mother is quite distraught over this, so my search continues.

Thank you

Hi, the first photo is of my Dads grave, it looks over Clydebank and is plot num 335.
The 2nd is the back of the cemetry that looks onto the old Braidfield High school.
Hope this helps.

Have a lovely christmas and best wishes for 2010
