Hi Jean
I wonder if you could help me with my grandfathers and grandmothers grave
I have found that they were buried in the Old part of Johnshaven Cemetery
Compartment E Section 3 numbers 553 554 and 555.
I would like to know if there are any gravestones.
I live in England but am hoping to come up there next year.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Cousin Dot,
I visited Johnshaven last week and spent a bit of time in the old graveyard looking for the grave of our grandparents Walter and Isabella FREEMAN. A thorough and detailed search of the graveyard including the taking of many photos did not find my grandparents gravestone. On a trip to to Stonehaven Registrar I was able to view a schematic outline of the graveyard but was not permitted to have a photocopy of the location of the lairs 553, 554 and 555. The photos below show that the area where they are located is almost totally devoid of stones.
Does anyone know if there is any older Aberdeen Council Department likely to have a more detailed map survey of this graveyard which would show the location of my grandparents lairs in relation to the two Ritchie gravestone shown below.
Cheers,
Sy
