Hi JEANP,

Thank you for the information.

[alisonchristie]

Thank you very much Jean, though I hate to think of my GGGrand parents being buried deep down in someone's garden!

Hi Jean thanks for your generosity in sharing...
Have you any Grieve or Gowans please?

Christian GOWANS daughter of James GOWANS and Mary GRIEVE.
was baptised Benholm July 1803.
We  think she may have died abt 1842 in St Cyrus, 
no death cert found and no info on her parents at all,
maybe they were buried in Benholm..?

[JEANP]
