Robert Thoms Oram burial 1969

[davhil01]

UPDATE
I had a reply from Laura at Dundeecity.gov for the burial for Robert.

I have found Robert Oram, 22 Balunie Drive, Dundee, died 08/03/1969, ashes interred 6th March 1907.  However, our records give his age as 72 years !  It names his spouse as Margaret S Black.  He is interred in Balgay Cemetery, Dundee, Section DD, lair number 183.

 

Unfortunately I still cannot find any records for Charlotte but I can confirm that she is not interred with Robert.

Age doesn't seem right, but that could of been a mistake by the person, relative arranging the cremation. Also might be a mistake of the interment date of 1907

Thank you for all your help on the post

Hi Dave,

The information supplied by Laura at Dundee City Archives doesn't seem quite right to me.  I would get back to her and query where the date of 1907 fits in with a death in 1969? Also ask her who else is buried in the grave.

I cannot see someone being cremated and then the ashes interred in a grave unless it already held family members.

My great aunt and uncle are buried in Balgay and when their daughter died a number of years later her ashed were interred beside her parents.

Hi Dorrie, I did reply to her email asking about the 1907, but I haven't had a reply yet. When I do I will update the information
