Hi there
there is definetly a cemetery in old Kilpatrick if you contact West Dunbartonshire council offices in Clydebank. I have spoken to a chap I work with and he says if you contact the burials department in Cochno Street Clydebank and they may be able to help you
Regards
Winniep

I have had an e mail back.
There are 3 lairs which my ggg grandfather bought in the cemetery.
I now know who is buried in which lair, and I have now found my g grandmother who is buried there too.
I never knew when she died until now, so that is another death certificate I can order.
But her husband James Munn, who died 39 years after here is not buried in any of they lairs.
I cannot find him

Old Kilpatrick cemetery is a beautiful place -lots of my rellies are buried there & I myself have bought a plot there(long story!)
There are lots of OLD Graves here including Covenanter's & others.Just to warn you my G-Grandfather made his own headstone-he was a Stonemason but unfortunately it was destroyed in the 1968 storm.My grandfather & his elder brother went to view it but it was prohibitively expensive to repair so there is nothing to mark their grave.
It is in the Churchyard & right on the main road with the OK hills in the background.There are family vaults too & the cemetery is divided into Old/new.I have spent many a happy hour trawling round the graves! I know sad I have always been fascinated by cemeteries
If you give me names I might recall or have a look next time I am home

Hi Joette,
How sad your g grandfathers head stone was destroyed in the storm.
The graves we are going to visit are very old too, so I am not we will be able to read them.
They are of my ggg grandfather Daniel Munn 5th Nov 1875 and his wife Janet Munn 28th Aug 1889 and their Daughter Agnes who died in 1850 age 2.Son Walter 17th July 1872 age 22.
Margaret Munn 1906, plus more Munn's.
They are in section 34.
Let me know if you do find them, when we come up in May to visit, I have to ring up another cemetery for someone to come and meet us at OK Cemetery to show us the plots.
Thanks
Pettsy

Sounds like you will find them in the front part of the graveyard.Munn is a name I recognise were there any descendants left in the area do you know?

My g grandfather Andrew Munn died in 1915 WW1 in France, he had four brothers Walter, Daniel, John and James, I think they all died too except John.
They had two sisters Jessie and Margaret, I don't know what happened to the, I plan to find out when I visit the Mitchell Library in May.
Their mother died in 1906, and their father in 1945 (James Munn)
He is not buried there, we cannot find him, Clydebank local history have tried to help.When he died he was in Risk St Home, but then we think he moved to an Asylum in Lochgilphead, Argyll,senile for the last six moths of his life. He may be in a paupers grave, and I know of no family after him.
Though I have been told there are still Munn's in the area.
It would be great to meet some descendants.

Yes I knew Munn's in the area they lived in Faifley I think the Father's name was Alex.Munn so maybe a descendant.Worth putting in a notice into the Clydebank Post asking for any Munn's to get in touch.I'm sure there must be a few still about.
Risk St must have come under Argyll Healthboard at the time otherwise I would have expected Gartnavel for him. If he had no family was probably buried in local cemetery to the Ayslum.

That's a good idea, is there a Clydebank post on line?
Or do you mean a news paper?
Risk Street Home, was in Dumbarton, and was on his death cert, but Lochgilphead, Argyll at the top, so the Dunbarton Library reckon, he died soon after moving to Lochgilphead that is why his old address id still on the Death Cert.
And it makes sense as he had senile decay over 6 months, as stated on the cert.

That is a fantastic idea - I think you should do it.
We get the local rag every week, I'll keep an eye open for your plea.
