Burial regaister in East Lothian
« on: Friday 09 August 13 23:15 BST (UK) »
Hello
I'm hoping someone can help me with this question.

I'm researching a John Gallagher (Gallacher) that died in died on January 1934 in Haddington. My question is would there be a burial register that can be checked for place of burial. I the know details from the death cert but I would like to find where the grave is located.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,
    Did he live in Haddington ? The address on his death certificate might give you a better idea

if he lived in  e.g. North Berwick or  somewhere other than Haddington he is more likely to be buried

in a cemetery near his home.
