Thank you for checking. Really kind.

Now, that name Dalgleish sounds familiar - must do some digging on Annie.

Julia:

Just wondered how you made out.  I am researching ancestors for a friend in Toronto, Canada and her gt grandparents were Peter Porteous and Jane Rodgers.  Her parents were Bennet Rodgers and Christine Drysdale.  Do you have any headstone pictures that you'd be willing to share?  Peter and Jane are interred in Greenside Cemetery, Section F  Lair 10.

Thanks,

Shelley

Dear Shelley,

Your friend and I are obviously related as my gggrandmother was Christina/ Christine or Christian Drysdale.

I have no headstones but they have a colourful past. Christine had at least 3 partners. You obviously have that story.

Kind regards,
Julia

BillionGraves site carry out photographic work on headstones. You need to register (free) and post a request for the photo you require. Hopefully one of the volunteers will be able to help you out.

[The Clackmannan Person]

Clackmannanshire cemeteries have a searchable database at the Council website. It is very easy to use. If you are trying to find your ancestors login to:

http://www.clacks.gov.uk/community/burialrecords/

Gives date of burial and age of deceased from 1866 to present. Index only gives first name initial. Two things to remember:
1) Married wives are under their married surname.
2) People in the same grave are probably related. Sometimes record gives relationship.

If you want to enhance the record didge on it and it will be saved in Downloads from where you can load into a photo editor.
