Eastwood Old Cemetery

[AndreaBrock]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone help me with information regarding the lay out of the Eastwood Old cemetery. I'm looking for my great grandfather buried there around 1901. His name was James Henderson, he was 30 and was killed in an accident. He was a carter on the wharves and was kicked in the head by a horse. I live in Australia and am coming over to Scotland next year. I would love to find his grave and pay my respects. I would like to find the location of the grave if it is possible.
Thank you.

Andrea

Hi Andrea, have you found his exact date of death on Scotlandspeople.gov.uk

You might find his burial details here once you've established exact date of death https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1305340?availability=Family%20History%20Library

I'll have a look for a layout plan for you.
Cheers
Maria

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have checked find a grave on line and his memorial is for Easwood Cemetery is MEMORIAL ID   139046016. I know he died on 21st January 1901 but have not been able to find his burial date yet. I will check out all of the tips you have given me.

thanks again

Hi Andrea, unfortunately I scrolled through that family search link and they don't appear to have the daily internment books, only the plot owners, which would take an age to read through.

This might be his death announcement in the Glasgow Herald 23 Jan 1901, but I can't zoom in any further on my phone to read it more closely.  Looks like you'll need to visit or pay the Mitchell Library to look at the daily internment books.

Hello Dieter,

Thanks so much for looking and for the newspapers, I will check that. I will also look in to the Mitchell library option.

Thanks again for time and help.

kind regards

Mmm I'm not 100% sure that is your great grandfather in Eastwood Old Cemetery, but I'm willing to be proved wrong 
I'm sure Eastwood cemetery would have been under Renfrewshire, quite a few miles away from the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he died and Dennistoun where he resided.

You're right in the fact there is a James Henderson listed in 'findagrave' who died 1901 and buried Eastwood Old Cemetery,  I can't see another listed.
In 'Billion Graves' there is also a James Henderson listed who died 1901 and buried Eastwood Old Cemetery but he died 12th Sept 1901 and was killed in the Boer War.
Again, there is only one James listed.

James was buried in Sighthill Cemetery in Springburn
