M.I.Look-up

[Solway]

Can anyone please assist with a look-up in Castle Douglas cemetery for Mary Donaldson (nee Blyth), died 1881 at Castle Douglas?
Many thanks.

Hi

Most of the published MIs are based on worked undertaken and published  by the Scottish Genealogical Society to cover burials up to 1855. There are some later deaths listed when on an existing tombstone.  Unfortunately, Mary is not listed.
 
In this case you would need to contact Dumfries and Galloway council who have all the lair books:

Hi,
In case you have not been able to find the details you wanted,
I think this is what you are looking for,

Died at Castle Douglas Feb -- 1881
Relick of
John Donaldson
Born at Gatehouse Sept 2 1803

There are then 7 lines of verse but I am unable to decipher this as the
writing is very worn.
If you would like a copy I have a photo of the headstone which is located in Kelton Cemetery.
