Balgay Cemetery Dundee

 Please by any chance has anyone access to memorial records for Balgay Cemetery, looking for a stone for James Brown buried there in 1905.

Many thanks

I have some ancestors in Balgay and contacted the local library before travelling up there. They gave me the positions of all the graves and and details of who was buried in them and the owner together with a plan. The email address is burials@dundeecity.gov.uk

Sorry I missed the "Parks" bit out of the address.
If you can't get to the cemetery armed with the information, try and get some fit person to photograph the stones (it is built on a mountain side). I found an uncle that I didn't know existed from visiting the graves.

I know the plot number its BB376, I have no idea if there is a stone, I can not get there I live in Essex and have no planned visit to Dundee this year, I could not ask anyone to search for a plot number,  the poor chap committed suicide, and I wanted to know more, you can learn a lot from a stone.

I do have a newspaper report.

Again thanks for the interest and help
