« on: Sunday 21 July 13 12:15 BST (UK) »
Hi i was wondering if anyone would be able to look up this death and see if there is a grave /grave stone and if so what graveyard and what information is written on it.

His Parents were George Anderson and Sarah (nee Emond) he was 12 when he died and at the time they lived at pine row dunsdale cottages dunsdale rd selkirk.

thanks in advance

iv426 Some old death records did show place of burial but not lair etc.
You could try the Scottish borders Council Bereavement office at Newtown St Boswells who hold the burial records. You may find out where he was buried or even the parents but it doesnt mean there is a headstone for information.If it was a tragic death maybe the local paper ie selkirk Advertiser, Border telegraph or the Southern reporter(try Hawick Heritage hub) may have reported it or an obituary recorded.
