Monumental Inscriptions - Robert Anderson (1778-1870)

[houseofbrown]

My 3xggrandfather died 3  June 1870 in Wrae, Ewes, Dumfries. Would anyone happen to have MI records for cemeteries in this area? I am endeavouring to locate his gravesite/headstone inscription.
Thanking you.
Bill.

Hello Ian and thank you for replying to my post.    That is definitely my family.  All I need to do now is find some kind person who lives close to Ewes Cemetery and is willing to take a photo for me 🙂
Cheers, Bill

Bill,
       Your Anderson family were originally Andison.
Robert was baptised 24 Feb 1790 Ewes. Parents John Andison and Agnes Rae.  I have a gt, gt, grandmother Andison.   She was one of many siblings, her two youngest brothers changed their name to Anderson.

Thank you M Carter; searching with that surname does open up fresh possibilities. I will PM you shortly as we may share some connection.
Regards,  Bill   (PS: I reckon date may be 1780  )

  Robert 1780 would be correct.   Sorry about typo error.
