Hi Anne


Anne Leviet's grave is at Camelon Cemetry  section 1 lair 350.
Thank you for the offer. 

I am very sad for her if Annie is my Grandfathers first wife.  I have in mind to have a mass said for Hugh and all his family.

Many thanks
Morney

Hi Morney,

Okey Dokey - first nice day I'll pop into Camelon and see what I can find. I know exactly where Section 1 is, so it'll not be difficult to find.

It won't be over the weekend as there's a Rootchat Glasgow get-together which I'm going to (whoopeeeeeee!) 

In the meantime, here's a couple of wee photos of Camelon Cemetery.

Hi Morney,

Not very good news I'm afraid.

I've gone to Camelon twice (just to make sure) and I can't find a stone. There are quite a lot of small stones strewn around but their inscriptions are impossible to make out.

Best I can do, is go back a third time and take a couple of general views of that specific area. I can send you a cemetery map and mark on it (roughly) where the grave is if it's of interest?

Sorry.

Anne

Hi Anne

Many thanks for trying and for photos and map. It is very good of you to take so much trouble.  I still cannot confirm that this is the right person but I will go on trying.  If we could confirm this we could perhaps have the grave marked.

We are having a mass said for Hugh and all his family (who ever they may be)  on 16th December although not in Falkirk, so if there are any Livitts, Lovats, Levetts, etc are out there this is for you.

Best wishes
Morney

Hi Morney

I'll be thinking of you all on the day. Not sure if you will ever find the definitive proof but your intentions are heart felt.

The Levett, Lovatt name changing is common as you say. Also the names are all infrequent in Scotland, many of the "Levett" families originated in the Lewes area of Sussex and are well researched, though I am unsure if that is where the scottish family originated.  Not sure if you have been in touch with Falkirk Archives about burial records but if the ones you seek are there the record often gives information on family members and are often more informative than you would think.  Good luck

Thank you for your interest.  The great great grandfather of this family I found in Scotland was born in Kent so they may well be related to the Levetts from Sussex.  I have contacted the burial services in Falkirk, what other information do you think I can find from them?  Do you have other info about the Levett family if you know it has been well researched?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Morney,

My sincere apologies for not posting photos which I promised to do. I forgot!

This photo is Section 1 and shows the general area where Lair 350 is. Winter isn't the best time to take photos but in the case of this part of ther cemetery, it's the only time some natural light can actually penetrate through the trees.
