Meffens from Fintry
« on: Tuesday 15 September 09 21:02 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to find out if my grandfather John Meffen b 1880 died 1964 is buried in the family plot in the Fintry Kirkyard.  His father Andew Meffen and mother Margaret Wilson Meffen and daughter Henrietta McEwan Meffen Craig are buried there.  My mother is still living (in Canada) and was here when her father died, she is not sure where he is buried.  She does not think the grave would be marked if he is at Fintry, so is there a record at the Church? 
Also Henrietta McEwan Meffen Craig died in child birth 15th Sep 1941, is there a record that the child a son William is buried with her?

Thanks

Hi Stewart,

Andrew b 1885 was  my  great grandfather - his son John b 1880 was my mothers father.  I do have a picture of Andrew and Margaret's gravestone and Henrietta Meffen Craig buried there also is my mother's sister.  I did get a response from the Stirling Cemeteries confirming that my grandfather John is buried there also - no memorial markings.
Who was your grandfather?  I was born in Fintry.  Send me a PM (Personal Message) if you like.
