Gravestone search in Scotland

[Tim Leith]

I am unable to locate the gravestones of my GrX3 Grandparents - their names were Nathaniel McKechnie and Margaret (Mayberry) McKechnie.

The lived in Slamannan according to two census records. (1861 and 1891)

Nathaniel died on June 20, 1897 in Mosscandle, Muiravonside.  His parents were James McKechnie and Mary (Milligan) McKechnie.

Margaret died on August 3, 1891 in Blinkbonny which is in the parish of Slamannan.  Her parents were Richard Mayberry and Mary (Wallace) Mayberry.

Nathaniel and Margaret's children's names were:

James
Mary
Sarah Jane
Elizabeth Arther
Margaret

Any help at all that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

You could try looking on here. If you find who you are looking for you will have to pay for precise information. Initially it gives general details re name and cemetery.

Not everyone had a gravestone. Gravestones would be erected and paid for by whoever in the family chose to do so, and not every family was well off enough to afford one. In addition, a lot of gravestones have sadly been removed over the years due to falling into disrepair and becoming a hazard. But you never know, there might be one for your ancestors.

I had a similar problem just a few weeks ago and was hoping to visit my 3 x great grand parents grave whilst visiting Scotland from Australia,  (A different part of Scotland, but I'm sure they will help in all towns if they can) I contacted the bereavement services with the full names, dates of deaths, places of death.
I had a very nice reply stating that my 3x Gr Grand father who had died in 1881 was buried in the old cemetery which was now closed. but they had located his wife's grave, not only did they arrange to meet me at the cemetery, but also took me to the grave which was lovely, I did have a bonus though and found that their Daughter & their Granddaughter were also buried in the same grave.
Again this was a very poor family 16 children & only 3 living to adulthood, so of course no headstone. I found a stone mason near the cemetery when I went to buy.
 flowers for the grave and ordered a modest one, this is due to be placed in the next few days, and it is a lovely feeling knowing that anyone walking around the cemetery will know the family did have someone.

It is worth a try.
Good luck
