Hello Jean,
I'm a new member, just joined today. after following a link for Johnshaven Cemetery. so i was surprised to find this.
I wonder if you are still offering to look in these cemeteries? - I'm in Australia. I'd really appreciate to get whatever details possible of my ancestors buried there; =
My 3ggrandmother , AGNES (ANN) FARQUHAR McHARDY(ie) is buried there.,she died 10th September, 1858.
I think her husband; WILLIAM would be buried there too, but I don't have his date.
Agnes parents, ALEXANDER and ELIZABETH FARQUHAR(son) should be there too; they lived at Inverkeilor.
I'm afraid I don't have any dates for them. Most likely between 1820 and 1840 as a guide? when they'd be between 60 and 80 years of age... Thank you once again for even considering this. Gloria.

Hi Jean,
I have a lot of ancestors buried in Benholm mainly McFarlanes and Youngs but I suspect they could not afford gravestones, being mainly fishermen or weavers.
What caught my eye was your interest in Ogilvie. On a branch of my Murray line I have a Christiana Ogilvie. She was married to Thomas Dakers in 1817 in Brechin, but I'm not sure of her birth details. She was the mother of Ann Anderson Dakers my gx3 grandmother.
Cheers
Jim Murray

Hello Jean,
Happy New Year to you too!
Interesting to hear where the Ogilvies were congregated.
Yes I know exactly what you mean about ensuring parentage as you move back into the 1700's. I expect you know how fruitful death certs from 1855 are and I am finding some of the parish records for births and marriages sometimes include some info on the man's residence and occasionally something about a woman's father.
Do you know the resources offered by the Aberdeen & NE Scotland FHS - the largest in the country?
Cheers
Jim Murray

Hello Jean,
And a Happy new year.We've been distracted by the NSW high heat and fires near us.
I've seen a copy of a death entry sent by a cousin,= My Agnes Farquar McHardie was buried in Johnshaven cemetery.
As the cert copy said "single" I'm not certain if her huband
William McHardie was buried in same cemetery? (married in Brechin)
Her parents Alexr Farquhar and wife Elizabeth lived in Inverkeilor. (where Agnes was born) .I'd be keen to find them too, as I've been looking for Alexr's details for years. (parents, birthplace etc, I have their (A.& E.'s) marriage entry, 22 July 1786;- in Inverkeilor, unfortunately it doesnt give anything like that))
They would be likely to be buried in the Inverkeilor cemetery-1820-1840?
 many thanks, Gloria in Australia.
