St Peter's (Spitals) Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 11 June 13 19:44 BST (UK) »
Does anyone by any chance have the MIs for Spitals Cemetery in Aberdeen?  I am looking for a lair no. and ideally directions to the grave of Janet McDonald 67 widow of Lachlan McBain of Knockando, buried there in 1824, for someone who has very kindly offered to photograph the grave for me.

There are no MIs for St Peter's, but the burial registers have survived and lair numbers are sometimes (not always!) given in these.  You can search them on www.deceasedonline.com which has a free index search, but it's pay-per-view to see the actual register images.

The originals are held at Aberdeen City Archives in their Town House office, and can be seen for free along with maps of the cemetery.  Their contact details can be found at www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/archives

I have the *.pdf files that show the lair locations. If you have, or when you get the number I can send you the map of the location.

EDITED

Attached is an example of what you would see if you used the free search of Deceased online. To view the lair number and other info you would need to pay. Details on the web site.

I am actually going there on Friday if you were sure of the lair I could have a look for you if it is near the area I am going to

That is a very kind offer.  Unfortunately, I can't find the Lair Number.  I have purchased credits on Deceased Online but only get the burial register which doesn't give me a lair number.  As you walk to your chosen location, keep an eye open for Janet McDonald 1824 just in case you pass by her.  Many thanks for thinking of it for me.

It normally has the number down the side of the burial record for instance L/4
                                                                                                                8 will have a look I take it she died 1824
