I was in the cemetery today looking for section 47 lair 11 Edward Boyce.

As with most cemeteries I have visited so far there were few markings but I got the impression that the grave will be in the Churchyard.

I am going to get a map from the council but if anyone knows how to navigate the cemetery I'd love to know.

There is a cemetery through the back which is not visible from the bulk of the old cemetery. Do not go there without a map :-))

I plan to return next Saturday so if anyone needs anything checking out let me know.

Hi David,

Miss Poohs was going to try and get to the cemetary for a look round, but she did mention that she had to go in to the hospital on Friday.  So perhaps her health might not allow her to make the visit before your planned expedition!

If you get the chance, I am looking for Anthony Coyle in Old Kilpatrick burial ground. 
Section 35, lair 38.

Also, I think Pettsy wanted a couple of lairs checked in section 34.

Hi David,
Thank you.
If you can manage to look in section 34, lairs 42,42 & 44.
For Daniel Munn and his family, that would be great.
At you could at least tell me where abouts to go when we visit in May.

Thanks for remembering me Deb

Hi Deb

I will ask for a diagram for your people's grave site when I phone them on Monday.

I will post their response by Tuesday, hopefully, and photograph the lair on Saturday.

I was very impressed with Old Kilpatrick when I made my first visit today and can assure you that your people's lairs are in good hands.

Does anyone know how to upload images to this forum.

I photograped a nice headstone today from someone who had travelled from Charlottesville, Virginia 1996 to leave a headstone for his people.

By the miracle of the Internet I think I have found the man and await his response.

You are in Canada? The World is shrinking fast.

speak soon
David

Cheers David!!  If I remember correctly, to upload an image you have to link the picture to a url at a site like photobucket.  Alternately, if you have a pic to send me, PM me, and I will send you my main email addy.

Hi there,
No. 34 is 5th row to the left of the path, and the 40's are behind that.

Hi Folks

A North Dalnottar (sp) Cemetery representative is meeting me on Saturday at 9.30 am in the grounds of Old Kilpatrick Cemetery.

I will take notes of who needs what and photograph the stones or unmarked graves where necessary.

Please upload any other sites asap.

I will report back before 5pm UK time on Saturday.
