Cemetery Search in Grantown Area - Drawing A Blank!

[leemcm]

Having checked the burial records for Aberdeen using the link that was previously provided, I cannot locate them - yet. 

There is a difference between 'Aberdeen' and 'Aberdeenshire'. The burial records of (the city of) Aberdeen are on Deceased Online, but I don't think the Aberdeenshire ones have been added yet.

Yes, appreciate the difference. I think the Aberdeenshire records will be key. Oh well, the hunt continues!

"Neither of their deaths are registered in those areas but they are known to have lived in Grantown on Spey towards the end of their lives"

Have you looked at S.P. using the spelling "Myria McMillan, other name Kirton" Gross data-218/00 0020 ?

Hi Malky

Thanks for this.  I think that this is what I did eventually to find her death certificate but am I missing a trick here?  Can burial records be checked on the Scotlands People website?

Cheers

Can burial records be checked on the Scotlands People website?

Only those before 1855 which were included in the parish registers. None as late as the ones you want to look at.

I have already suggested contacting Highland Council, who should have any records of 20th century burials in the Grantown area, and Aberdeenshire Council, who should have any records of 20th century burials in Aberchirder and Longside. There is no point in looking anywhere else.

Appreciate the comment but I have already contacted both but with no success.

Hi folks.  Thanks for all of the suggestions.  A distant relative in Canada came across a picture of their gravestone last week after she spoke with her cousins about the search, and I used this information to go back to the Aberdeenshire Registrar.  We have now found them!  They are buried in Old Huntly Cemetery.  I don't know why they didn't come up in a search previously, however this exercise found them - as well as many other relatives who are buried in adjoining graves.

I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions.  What a great site - I wouldn't have thought that a forum like this would have been so useful!

Regards
