There is an even older Churchyard in Bathgate, quite small, I will have a look there when I get a chance.

I had a walk through the oldest Churchyard in Bathgate, there are two headstones for Anderson, but none for the names you are looking for.

Here are photos of the two stones, they should be big enough for you to read them, but if you have any trouble let me know and I will give a tanscription.

Because of the size I will put them on separate messages.

Stone number 2.
This stone has a smaller stone at the foot showing only the name Anderson from an earlier date 1848, so there are other members of the family in here. I will show this in the third photo.

Hi Mosstrooper
Thank you so much for the photos of the Anderson grave stones.
I can not claim them as ancestors though I am sure most Andersons at the time in Bathgate could have been related.
I do look up for gravestones in The Kew cemetery here in Melbourne you must give me a crash course in putting photos onto this site! it would come in handy,many thanks again. Billy,
