Clingan

Can anyone help please.
I'm after the details and place of burial of John Clingan, husband of Mary Williams.
This line of my lot had itchy feet, starting off in the home village of Kirkpatick Durham, Kirkcudbrightshire, later to be found in Leith. From Leith they end up in
Stromness around 1860. The family appear in the 1861 census living in the Main Street, Stromness and later, 1871 Census, Alfred Street. John died 17 Apr 1876 whilst it is believed still residing in Alfred Street. He was a baker by trade and was described as such in the census's.
The family then returned to Leith, and in the process left one son in the Highlands at Brora as a miner and the rest scattering as far as New Zealand - via SA and Aus.
Besides wondering what a Lowland baker is doing ending up in Orkney - no other connections with either the Highlands or Islands - is it possible for anyone to let me know where I could find a memorial inscription or grave location.
Many thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,
Wouldn't John be buried in Sromness as that is where he died. Would be great to find his grave. It must be up there somewhere. 
Your cuz,
Phyl

Hi Ian,
The Orkney Family History Society have published a booklet of the Stromness Memorial Inscriptions. I don't have it, but it is available from them on www.orkneyfhs.co.uk .
Regards, Alastair

Hi Ian
I've checked the MI's for Stromness and there doesn't seem to be a listing for John Clingan.

Thanks for that. It is appreciated. It is also disappointing but at least I have the paperwork.
Just done the same exercise for his son's wife in Brora. No grave present and if
it was it now has another occupant to keep her company :-)
Thanks again.
Ian
