Hi Stralachlan, I am now several shades of green - one because the English beat us in the World Cup a few hours ago but mostly , I`m green with envy over your week in Inverary doing research.
I would love to see any of your photos of the Inverary , Newtown , Glen Shira area as I live in Australia and it is probably unlikely that I will see these places in person.
Don`t suppose your research took you to Kilmalieu Churchyard burial ground ? ?
Regards, Thommoje

Hi Grey Seagull,
You are so clever! Thank you so much for letting me know where Kilmalieu Cemetery is and for that web site about Inverary.
I had located some of my family on the 1851 Census before , but being able to see it all is great. I will get more from that site.
The photographs are amazing as many of them are of Inverary around the time my family would have lived there.
The photos of Inverary pier, in its early form ,were particularly poignant as my G G Grandfather was the Harbour Master and would have walked the pier almost daily.
Thanks again, Jean

Might it be Kilmalieu cemetery? This is near Inveraray, but I cannot pinpoint a map reference for it.  Nell
A good place for looking up places like that is CANMORE, the database of the Royal Commission of Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland. You can search the database by the name but it can be difficult because of variations in spellings. You can also search an area by type or category, these have changed so you will need check which is used for burial grounds. You can also use CANMAP to zoom into an area of the map and then mark part of it and see a list of sites in that area. I took photographs of war graves and churches for a time and often used it to find burial grounds because some of the ones in the Highlands & Islands can be difficult to find - often these older ones are on the original site of the church and there will be thr ruin there.

The Scottish Genealogical Society do have MI for some Argyllshire burial grounds but only a handful and not including this one.
PS I might have a picture inside the burial ground if any use to you
PPS There are three images in the burial ground on CANMORE but all of one grave

This is one burial ground and old chapel reported in Glen Shira by the RCAHMS
Maam
Type of Site: Burial Ground, Chapel
NMRS Number: NN11SW 3
Map reference: NN 1232 1271
Parish: Inveraray
Council: Argyll And Bute
Former District: Argyll And Bute
Former Region: Strathclyde
Archaeology Notes
NN11SW 3 1232 1271.
(NN 1232 1271) Burial Ground (NR) (Site of)
OS 6" map, Argyll, 2nd ed., (1900)
Nothing now remains of this burial ground. The New Statistical Account [NSA] (1845) states that children and infants were interred in the burial ground of Kilblaan in the 18th century Kilblaan is listed by Argyll County Council (1914), Scott (1915-61), and Campbell and Sandeman (1964) as a chapel site, dedicated to St Blaan. Campbell and Sandeman suggest that the chapel site is now occupied by Kilblaan farm at NN 128 133, but they make no mention of this site, and seem to have missed it. The Ordnance Survey Name Book [ONB] also quotes an old man, over 90, stating he was present at the burial of a child at this site about 1800.
NSA 1845; Name Book 1871; Argyll County Council 1914; H Scott et al 1915-61; M Campbell and M Sandeman 1964.
There are no traces of a burial ground at the published site.
Visited by OS (D W R) 8 March 1973.

Hi Jean,
I am also trying to track down information on burials at Kilmalieu Cemetery, Inverary. Phoned someone in the Council today, said he would have a look but didn't think they would have records as far back as 1860 - the date I am interested in. If he is not able to help, he suggested trying Register House (sure he said that though it may have been National Archives of Scotland).
.....
This is the burial ground at Kilmalieu

Hi Jean,
I've uploaded some photos onto Photobucket, so if you follow this link you should be able to have a look.
http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z286/stralachlan/Argyle/
I have been to the following church yards: Crarae, Kilmalieu, Clachan Farm (behind Loch Fyne Oyster bar), the new Inveraray cemetary at the foot of Glen Shira, Cairndow, Clachan Strachur, Strathhlachlan, and Dalmally. I've taken photos of any headstones relating to Sinclairs in these.
I can see why the Grampians in Victoria are called that, they really do remind me of Scotland. I dont know where in Oz you are.
PS. I've just checked my records, and there were no Greigs or Purdies in my headstone pictures, but that doesnt mean they're not there of course. There was a 1779 roll call of the Argyll estate which you might find interesting. The Lochgilphead council archives has a copy.
