Help on how to access the Canonbie Burial Records Please

[Forfarian]

One thing you can be sure of is that even if you found the information on Ancestry, it didn't originate there. Ancestry has just copied or indexed something produced by someone else.

It could be one of the many booklets produced by the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society https://dgfhs.org.uk/

They have among other things two volumes of Monumental Inscriptions in Canonbie. See https://dgfhs.org.uk/?s=canonbie&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1 - could the information you obtained before have come from one of these?

Just an update.

Although Book02 was of the Burials in Canonbie from 1825-1855  the page my ancestor was on in 1846 was missing - (Canonbie Kirk Cemetery Burial Registers 1846 John Armstrong New Woodhead October 13th 56 Years). Yet I have it downloaded already so that is a mystery. I am wondering if there is another site containing these Burial Registers

Apparently it says there were 67 burials in the year 1846 but only 19 are listed so think the complete book is not on the Ancestry site. Unfortunately the pages aren't numbered.

The moral of my tale is, in future, to make sure not only the source is recorded but the location of the source too!

Hi Judy, I see what you mean, there's a few pages missing now. I'd saved the whole book to my computer awhile back and have the page as well so it would be where you found the image originally.

She has an image of the burial? Obviously not an MI and DGFHS doesn't have these decades of Canonbie burials in their booklets or publications list.

If another user gives the correct answer, it's ok...

Well, if it is an image of the lair book it must have originated in the records held by Dumfries and Galloway Council.

Sometimes the owner of a document withdraws their permission for commercial web sites like Ancestry to feature it and the document then disappears from the web site. Maybe that is what happened to the item you are looking for.

Thank you for the lively discussion on this subject. 
I have now downloaded other information that this has lead to. Which is useful.

I believe, as Lanercost says, I downloaded the original page from Ancestry, but for some reason there are now one or two pages missing from that document - maybe for the reason Forfarian has put forward or for another reason I don't know.
But it is a bit of a nuisance if you are looking for Canonbie Burials in 1846.

Thank you
Judy
