Cemetery Look-Up Please/ Inverness
« on: Monday 19 June 06 21:56 UTC (UK) »
Would like to find where Walter Ross is buried. The last info we have on him, is the 1861 Inverness Petty Census. On the census it has his age being 55 a farmer.
Wife, Catherine.
Children: Isabella, Charles, William, Walter, James,.
In 1862 they had a daughter, Margaret.
In 1871 Catherine is a widow.

   Also would like to know where Catherine Ross ( wife of Walter ) is buried. She was a tenant on the Brackley  Farm. Believe she died about 1900/1901.

Thanks   Aley

Thank you for the info.

   It might be the right Walter Ross. Even though his age is different from the 1862 census.  (Not by much )
I had come across some family members in other census, in each census year, they had down different ages. Had one put down that she was born in the same year as her husband.  Her birth record had her being born eight years before.
