Hello,
If SLC doesn't have the plot number then no one else will. There is a cemetery next to the old churchyard, have you made it clear to the council which one your ancestor is buried in? There will probably be records for the newer cemetery extention, if I were you I'd go back and ask for it to be checked. It is properly laid out and it is bound to have sections and numbers.
The churchyard, like so many others in the county, doesn't, as far as I know, have burial records.
The sexton (gravedigger) kept it all in his head and it was passed down from father to son that way.
Generations of the same families were sextons in almost all of the churchyards.
This is what the cemetery extention looks like - organised and methodical. Unlike the jumble of 300 years worth of stones in the churchyard.
