Oh gosh i didnt see those other posts (so annoying not getting any emails saying you have a post. I know I am not the only person either I have to scroll thru all the posts I did to see who has replied.

well you are correct he is buried in douglas he was aged 80, 1918 and it is volume A  - page number 1818

As far as I know he is buried in Braddan New yard - James Edward Bruton age 80 11 Aug 1918 - should be in the index quoted above - see http://www.manxnotebook.com/gazateer/gyards/cems.htm

Hi Kerbab

He is definately buried in the IOM. The link below has a list of burials. The transcriber has grouped them and BRUTON has been included after BURTON & BURTONWOOD The code beside his name is BRA which I'm guessing stands for KIRK BRADDAN New Cemetery.

Apologies  .  I    did    just    check   in   alphabetical  order   &   then   no   Brutons .  The   late    Brian   Lawson   did

researchers   a  great   service   &   was  working   against  time.   !   will  look   today   for   a   headstone   &
 
monumental   inscription  for   you.   Voirrey

Andy and Voirrey thankyou so much!!! It gives me warm fuzzies when peeps can find family across the seas (Im in NZ)....it must be a women thing but I just have to know where this wonderful man was buried. I have had a lovely letter from the Arts Musuem in South Africa about James and all the history he captured. I love photography myself so maybe it in my 'genes'.
I appreciate this information. Many thanks ♥

Oh I have just reread and seen the late Brian Lawson. He was a man I was in contact with right at the beginning of my searchng some 8 years ago. May he RIP.

Kerbab   It   may   be  possible   to  get   you   a  photo  of  the   headstone.  A   keen  photographer  who   lives  close

by   regularly  visits  Braddan.  Mind  you   it's  winter  here  at   present !   Voirrey
