Slamannan Cemetery

No problem, wish I had been more help.  People who died in the 20th century are more than likely buried in the bigger cemeteries in Polmonts' Grandsable, Camelon, Denny, and Stenhousemuir which I think is Larbert Cemetery, also taking in cremations at Camelon

Hi just wondering if you had any luck with the findlays cnerys?  I am trying to track back the family tree and I am stuck in 1792 looking for records of John Findlay father of James Findlay (1844-1902) and husband to Helen Morris (1812-1808).  I tried the headstones to see if I could find any clues but no such luck.  Just wondering if you have had any luck.  They lived in Slamannan, Stirlingshire.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, we have put these Findlays on the back burner for a little while as I wasn't getting anywhere with them. I was contacted recently by someone on GenesReunited regarding these Findlays. We have a bit of an issue with John Findlay married to Helen Morris as John is named as George Findlay on one document the family had made on these Findlays. I have just looked back through my scotlandspeople saved items and on James and Helen's marriage, James's father was noted as John Finlay a labourer married to Helen Finlay nee Morrison. so the 'd' has beend dropped from the surname, I hadn't noticed that before.
Unfortunately there is no idea whatsoever where many of this family are buried as yet. I know Margaret, my sister in law who's mother was a Findlay is hoping to start seriously researching this year for the Findlays. Margaret's aunt has given her lots of documents recently, so I'll have to ask what information there was that might help go back a bit further. I'll keep in touch.
Kind regards
Nerys

in Blinkbonny which is in the parish of Slamannan. 

This isn't intended for this discussion, merely to point out for the benefit of anyone who may be looking for Blinkbonny and comes across this thread that this Blinkbonny is indeed in the parish of Slamannan, but there are places called Blinkbonny in several other parishes.

Tim,
         Looking at the 1881 Census I find Nathan McKechnie & Margaret living at Jawcraig which is just outside Slamannan he aged 63 and she aged 64. If he died in Muiravonside then it is likely he will be buried there rather than Slamannan. Check out the Graveyard here.
