Look-up for JAMES LINTON KAY *COMPLETED*

[Thamesite2017]

Wow
thats interesting to know they will take a photo
We don't often thing to ask the cemetery folk direct
Maybe worth trying in other areas, it would encourage them maybe to build up this resource

Bye

Hi ,

i recieved the photo's next day after speaking to Jenny Dryburgh from Dunedin Council. Jenny contacted the cemetery about my request and they kindly took them for me.It would be a great idea to start a resource base for photo's .We have people in Scotland that are visiting cemeteries and putting all the gravestones and inscriptions on cd for anyone to purchase at a small price.They are also asking for requests of cemeteries that have not been photographed.Considering the amount of time and travelling involved payment is perfectly reasonable.

James Linton Kay lived with my grandmother from 1956 onwards. My father caught his mother and Jock in bed one day when he came home, in  1951, then he left and went and lived with some people down the road. (My dad that is). Jock was living in the hills around Roxburgh at the time. He had jumped ship in Dunedin so was therefore illegally in NZ. My grandparents separated in 1956 and Jock and Grandma moved to Dunedin. One of the stories we heard was that Jock had to leave Scotland to escape prosecution for beating up his mother. I can tell you lots of other stories about him. I was 40 years old when he died at the hospice in Dunedin. He had no children. We would like to know more of where he came from to put in our family tree as he was part of our lives.
Kind regards.

Hello,

Before Lillian can part in the personal messaging system, she needs to post one more message on the forum. Just a  will do.

Thanks for that ,seems a little odd as i have messaged her off board on other social media and still no reply .

[minniehaha]

On Rootschat Lillian will not receive your personal message as she has not yet put up three responses.

I think most would take from that comment that you had sent a private message on RootsChat and not other social media  .Lillian may not have found your message if it is on FB as they often go to "other folder"
