I don't think so.

Sorry for the late reply, thanks Crisane and forfarian.
Just started back onto this tree, my 3xGr grandfather Aulay Mathieson born (McMath) Campbeltown.
I think the 1861c for Grace should be the 1871c as they did not marry until 20th Feb 1863 in Greenock,
So Aulay Mathieson was living with pos son in law Duncan Mcrae,
also I believe that the shop was through his first wife's family of Catherine WEIR, 1825 -1862.
as there is a Alexander and Catherine Weir, po brother and sil living 3 doors down a shoemaker at 59 George Street, Stranraer Wigtownshire on 1871c. Now looking for where are they buried?

Now looking for where are they buried?

Have you got dates and places of death from their death certificates?

[Trevor1955]

Sorry Forfarian, I can't remember where I found this.
I have not sent for death certs yet.

might have been from a familyserch tree?

would the REF give us a burial place
