Mount Vernon Cemetery, Edinburgh
« on: Wednesday 06 August 14 14:36 BST (UK) »
I am curious about two burials in Edinburgh's, Mount Vernon.
Isabella Cameron 10/07/1931 and James Cameron 4/03/1935. I would love to establish if these two records are actually in the same grave. I have been looking for these people for some time, this would solve the mystery.

Is their a photographic record or register?

Tony, I would think you would have to make a direct enquiry for the type of info you are after. See www.archdiocese-edinburgh.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=314&Itemid=159 which provides some contact details.

A number of RC records are now available here www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=551&1379 However, with the years you have, I don't think they wll show online there.

In the main, RC details across the board very often impossible to find online.

Did a quick search on SP and there are entries for the two burials. I picked up the excellent "Scottish Catholic Family History" by Andrew Nicoll at ScotlandsPeoples Centre and it shows that there should be lair registers, burial registers and owner's registers available. Not sure if they are still held at Columba House in Edinburgh.
