Grayfriars Burial Ground MI Look up please
« on: Sunday 30 August 09 05:05 UTC (UK) »
Could anyone look up MI book for me, please?

James Vallance has Henderson tomb aged 75 years old in 1780. It was 3 Dp E.

Peter Ramage has Henderson tomb in 1786. It was 4 Dp E. His wife Rachael Valenie (should be Vallance) has Farguharson headstone in 1798. It was 3 Dp E.

Do you know what 3 or 4 Dp E stand for?

I just found their burial records from Scotlandspeople website.

Regards, Steven.

Hi Steven

I don't have the MI book I'm afraid but I can give you a link to a plan of the cemetary

http://www.valacar.net/nisbet/origins/plan.htm

The Henderson Tomb appears to have been on the side adjacent to George Heriot's School.

These large identifiable tombs are sometimes used as a refenece point from which to find the burial place, so maybe that is what the 3/4 Dp E refers? Especially as most of the churchyard is to the East of Heriot's work gate.

Hope this helps

Hi Kirsty,

Many thanks for the website address. I like it and keep it for records.

I hope I would visit there one day so this map would help me to find it.

Regards,

Steven.
