Sylvia, he doesn't appear to be in Baldernock or the Cathedral on this site, somebody like himself would surely have had a stone. He wasn't a Glasgow man so possibly in the lair of a friend?

I'm guessing he may have been buried at St Enoch which as I've found out thanks to Rootschat no longer exists.  I've also checked Crieff cemetery but he's not there or Ingram Street.

The Scotsman has a report on 23rd October 1925 concerning the sale of the fixtures and fittings of the church which was being removed to allow free flow of traffic through St Enoch's Square. There was some opposition by the Scottish Ecclesiological Society  to the church being demolished because it was alleged it stood on a site used for Christian worship since the days of St Mungo. No mention of a graveyard or any burials within the church.

Burials inside churches was frowned upon by that time. Westminster Abbey must have stank to high heaven!

I wouldn't be too quick to discount the Ramshorn. The nature of the gravestones there was such that most names of those buried in family plots could not be on the stone. I have found several family members buried there who are not listed in the standard MI reference book but whose interment is detailed in the parish records for this church. It makes it a bit tricky to track them down but if you do then the Ramshorn records are very detailed.

How do I find the parish records.

Hi Sylvia
         
Are you are still searching for the final resting place of the Rev. Dr William Taylor? (1748-1825) I may have the answer!

How do I find the parish records.

The parish records are what is on Scotland's People.

Isn't there a book someshere with information about Ramshorn - published a longish time ago? I'm sure I remember coming across such a book somewhere before the advent of CD-ROMs and the internet. But maybe that too is only inscriptions.
