There are nine Monument Inscriptions for Murie in Greyfriars Cemetery, but none mention George Murie.  Does George have relations in Perth?

Thank u List for the invaluable link to the burials at Greyfriars
I spent New Year's Day looking at those burials and come to the conclusion that the Leleas and George buried there cannot be the parents of my William - too old:(
Would love to hook up with John Scott Murie but can't find the match
I guess I need to look at a cemetery in Dundee where he died - is that the same link?
Any suggestions as to names of possible cemeteries would be great
Thanks again for your help

William MURIE b 1802 Perth  d 1872 Clyde Canal drowning  married 1833, Dundee
Helen/Ellen Crosser/Corser DONALD b 1811 Dundee  d 1891 Glasgow

I believe Helen's parents were James DONALD and Mary CROSS/CROSSER
I am looking for William's parents..........

Thank u for your help

What does William's death certificate say?  You can access that for a small fee from www.ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk

I have the dc - it gives no parents - wife is Helen DONALD and informant is son, Alexander.
Cause of death is drowning - with a correction record that says death was immediate - no doctor saw the body
