GLASGOW .. Western Necropolis Cemetery

[gillalexrob]

Hi Alex

This may have come too late but the LDS hold records for Western Necropolis. You have to order them to your local LDS family history centre. I have ordered some Microfilms for Western Necropolis but havent yet viewed but they may be the ones you are looking for & it might be worth a try:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints,
35 Julian Ave Glasgow G12 0RB
0141 357  1024

Good luck,
Gillian

As far as I know, the Western Nec records that were at the Mitchell have gone off for digitisation and should be back sometime soon.

I know this post is too late for Alex but for anyone else interested in the Western Necropolis, the Church of the Latter day Saints had the records I was looking for, plot details for burials 1919-1921 but the dates extend further than that- check their website. I think that is the cheapest way to access Western Necropolis files for the foreseeable future and the files can be ordered to your local centre- worldwide for a relatively small fee.

It was my first visit to the LDS family history centre & I cant recommend it enough. After a few less than helpful exchanges at the Mitchell it was so refreshing to meet lovely people willing to help you  find your records. Although you will need to order Western Necropolis files, they also hold a lot of other records on site, so worth a visit!

Also, as the centre I used was in Julian Street Glasgow I could hop foot it up the the cemetery straight afterwards & found my grave...albeit without headstone (a lot are missing or over, a real shame!) but anyway it is located now none the less.

I paid the £60 to Glasgow City Council to locate the grave of my great-grandfather in the city.  They found him in the Western Necropolis and could not have been more helpful.  The grave was unmarked but they put in a wooden marker in the appropriate position and gave me the contact details of a member of the cemetery staff who took me to the actual spot.  So sometimes it is worth paying for something.
