Took me ages to find details of my family's (unmarked) grave in St Kentigern's and it would have been much easier if it had been indexed...but I'm not complaining!

Now that we know the plot number for the "2mums and 2sons", we're arranging for a headstone to be placed.

We found her in the Sandymount Cemetery in Shettleston, Glasgow. It was a wonderful feeling and very emotional too. The main headstone had fallen and was buried under a thatch of moss that peeled away easily. Her name was engraved on the plinth on which it had previously stood. We hope to renovate it.

Glasgow City Council were tremendously helpful and even arranged for someone to come out and unlock the other possibility, Shettleston Old Cemetery. We went in there and it was very small but fascinating. Some very old headstones and a fox had evidently dug down and dragged up a very yellow thigh bone!!!

Well done! You put in so much effort. Great to hear you got there...

Thanks for coming back and updating the thread
