Tomy, long old post here on St Kentigern's cemetery www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=512075.0

Some comments from there from Anne which might help:

The rolls of microfilm are still kept at the Mitchell Library on the third floor. It's the actual Burial/Lair Owners Registers held by the Archives (2nd Floor) which were taken to be digitised.

The date for release and format seems still to be anybody's guess though! 

In general, the microfilms only go up to the 1950's, so information on more recent burials would have to be sought from Glasgow City Council.

As regards 'Lambhill' ..... although there's 3 cemeteries all sitting side by side (Lambhill, St. Kentigern's and the Western Necropolis), they are commonly referred to 'collectively' as Lambhill as that's the name of the area in which they are located.

There may have been some changes by now given Anne's post is from 2012. You could always add a new post to the ongoing thread I linked above asking for up to date info that could help.

Also, have you checked www.memento-mori.co.uk ? They have an index for the gravestones at St Kentigern's. Whilst the grave you are looking for may not have a stone, you may find other entries of interest there.
