Would this be Barbara's burial? As the one below has the middle name Campbell, which could help to research this lady -

Barbara Campbell McGregor
Age - 86
Burial - 5 Sep 1904, Norwood Cemetery, Norwood Road, Lambeth

Solway, is this your post or someone else on the same lines http://douglashistory.ning.com/profiles/blogs/samuel-douglas-windsor-castle?id=3482022%3ABlogPost%3A8248&page=2

Yes, Monica, my posting.  Margaret Douglas, wife of Robert Highet, was a niece of Samuel Douglas, owner of Windsor Castle Plantation, Jamaica. Hence my renewed interest in the Highet/McGregor/Price families.
Thanks again for all your assistance.
