Headstones In MARKINCH CEMETERIES

[pete38]

Hi Norrie, Regarding St.Dr 845 my Aunt Elizabeth Patterson was married to an Alex Barclay and she died about 1998. Is this her or just a coincidence?

Hi Norrie,

Thanks so much for all of that information, I will have to sit down and have a good look through it all, I really appreciate it.
I don't recall being able to see the sea from the cemetery I went to and I've had a look at google earth and St Drostan's does look familiar, the layout, the main building and the entrance. Are your records just from headstones that you have photographed? I was thinking perhaps I could call the council department that has the cemetery records and confirm where they are buried. My Mum is currently in the UK on a 6 week holiday and will be in Scotland in a few weeks, hopefully I can figure it out so she can go the the cemetery while she's there.
Thanks again for all of the information.

Thanks for the photo Norrie. Now living in Australia I have no idea where most of my family are buried.
